Is it possible to customize windows shell?

When you right click a file in windows explorer, there are many options such as "open", "new", "print", "open with" etc... and some programs integrate themselves into shell (such as winzip), is there any way to customize them? such as removing winzip from there?

thanks
 
if u wanna remove it.. open up regedit and look under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\*\\shellex\\ContextMenuHandlers.. click on the menu u want to remove, copy the class id (the default value).. paste it and remove the keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT that have shellex in it's path that u find associated with that class id.

a much safer and more effective approach that doesn't require u to modify the registry is to find the dll that provides that extension and run 'regsvr32 /u <dll-name>.dll'
