I know there has to be a way. The context menu when I right click on a file has become bloated beyond recognition.

Its under Folder Options>File Types - Browse the through the list of certain file conxtext menu's and delete. If your using XP though it won't allow you delete the context items for things like "Folder" and "Drive" thats where you go to the:

Registry and do a search for the file entries.

yeah i use contextedit very sparingly, but i it is very cool. you can assign things to individual file extensions, all files, or files with no defined extension.

my fave is to add notepad, the command is "notepad.exe %1" and i just label it Notepad, that way i can right click any file and open it w/ notepad.

very cool.
