Right Click menu

[JE78]

When I right click a folder it seems I have about 20 options. I can browse it using PSP 8, PSP 5, Winamp, I can compress it with WinZip, WinRAR, or even upload it using WS_FTP and the list goes on. I find this to be a pain and would like to get rid 98% of them. I've looked in each of the programs prefrences and the only one I can seem to get rid of is Winamp, the rest just don't have the option that I can find. I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to do this? Thanks.

Well I know you can manually specify each of WinRAR's context menu options inside WinRAR, but of course that doesn't help with the rest of the programs.

I got rid of WinRAR and Winamp but I still have a bunch of other's that i'd never use. I will try out the programs suggested above.

**UPDATE**

With the use of both the programs I was able to get the look I wanted. Thanks for the links guys!

open windows exlporer.
tools>folder options>view tab

Halway down, check the option "show hidden files and folders"
Apply that.

go to documents and settings> your profile

Now you can see the "send to" folder.
You can make shortcuts and delete them in there directly.

I use it to add printers in offices. It comes in very handy. Let's say Al has his laserjet 1200 shared on the net. Normally, you'd need to muck around in a print menu and select that printer to send a small job over to his printer, a pain IMO.

I set that folder view, and add all the shared and network printers a particular user might want. Just right_click_drag from "settings>printers and faxes"
Windows will prompt you, select copy or create shortcut here depending on OS.

Once it is in that folder, rename it to "Al", for example.

with any closed printable item, right click>send to>Al will briefly open that application (word, adobe, notepad etc.), send the print job, and close application.
That is much faster than any mucking around in a print menu, hands down.
It allows you to rename the printer to something that makes sense, instead of "laserjet1200 on Workstation blah blah".
