Context menu editing help

[pursuant]

When I right click and go to "new" I get a whole bunch of file types that come up, of which I only use one or two. I want to edit the context menu. I have downloaded a couple of utilities. The first one was useless. The second one is called ShellExview,  gave me a long list of program ,many of which are connected to the context menu. It allows you to disable them so they don't show up in the context menu. I did but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thank you

You have to be very careful when editing the context menu; you can really mess things up if you do it incorrectly.  If you make us a list of the items you want removed, perhaps we can properly assist you.

Also ShellExView is a very good program, but changes take effect after restart.
Follow CBMatt's advice, first.

Be right back as I try ShellExView on one of my experimental computers.

I couldn't change the context menu. I can add shortcuts to places like My Computer and Control Panel, that's pretty much it....unless I'm missing something.....

I found this:

What do you mean by that?

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Wait, are we talking about this menu?

[Broni]

Yes..
context menu = right click menu

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Yeah, I couldn't edit it with ShellExView.

[Broni]

Grrrrr....what happened, when you tried to disable some menu item?

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Huh? Lol

Have you tried it?

[Broni]

Yes. I right click on any item in ShelExView, click Disbale Item, restart computer, and the entry doesn't show up.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Hmmm....how do you add something?

[Broni]

You  can't add context menu items through ShelExView.

Ah, ok then.  Was that not OP's request
