Remove Context Menu Items

bep1995 · Jun 30, 2021

Hello !!!! Yesterday I installed the windows 11 on a vm and I really liked it !! But I have a little "problem" with the context menu, on my both main windows 10 and windows 11 vm I removed all except two items in context menu "New" submenu but in windows 11 I cant get rig of the "Exctract All" and "Compress to ZIP file" items (picture below) I have tried to modify the registry but with no luck. Is there any other way to fix it ??

I don't think they are part of 11 as I haven't got them, You use WinRar by the look of it. It may be obvious but have you been into WinRar settings and turned them off in the context menu setting.

Yes, I use 7zip and get some context menu options for it - but I can choose which ones can appear or not by going into the options in 7zip settings so I guess it would be similar with other programs.

the "extract all" is a default windows 11 entry. i tried modding the reg like in windows 10 but i did not work. winaerotweaker works when you remove it under 'remove default entries'

I would love to remove the "Compress to Zip file" menu item. Mostly because when I click it, nothing happens. No zip gets created. I was able to remove the extract all. If I figure out a tweak I'll post it here.

as for me, I configured WinRAR to stay on CONTEXT MENU to extract all type of compressed archives, for ZIP files the menu EXTRACT ALL will still remain there, addtionally WinRAR menu will also appear to ease my operation for ZIP, RAR and ISO formats .. some large ISO and DAA filetypes, I will use PowerISO manually for compression & extraction ..

This may help...

Remove "Extract All" tweak doesn't work on Windows 11

I used this reg file but it's still there when I right click a .ZIP file. I don't want it since I have 7-ZIP installed. Any ideas? Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\{b8cdcb65-b1bf-4b42-9428-1dfdb7ee92af}]
