Windows Kontext

Kontext lists every entry across 20+ shell categories, including the Windows 11 right-click menu. Tick off the ones you don't want, review the pending list, and click Save — they disappear from your menu. Nothing changes on your machine until you apply.

Without touching the registry. Kontext lists every entry in your right-click menu — and the rest of the shell — each shown with its real app name and icon, and lets you switch any of them on or off with a click. Every change is backed up first, so anything you modify can be restored exactly as it was. (Kontext manages and removes existing entries; it doesn't add custom commands.)

A slow or freezing right-click menu is almost always a third-party shell extension stalling. Kontext shows every shell extension hooked into your menu, so you can disable the culprits and get it opening instantly again — with an automatic backup, so you can re-enable anything if needed.

"Show more options" is where most third-party entries pile up. Kontext finds them across all the places they hide, lists each by the app that added it, and lets you switch off the ones you don't want — one click, backed up first so it's reversible. No manual registry editing.

It depends what you need, but the two things that matter are coverage and a safe undo. A lot of tools only reach the obvious right-click entries; Kontext was built to cover the whole shell — 20+ categories, each entry labelled with its real app name — and to back up every change automatically so it's all reversible. If you only need to remove a couple of basic entries, simpler free tools exist too.

Shell extensions are the handlers apps add to Explorer — context-menu items, thumbnail and preview handlers, icon overlays and more. Kontext lists them all in one place with the app each belongs to, and lets you switch any off (and back on) with an automatic backup — handy when one is cluttering your menu or slowing Explorer down.

Yes. Before it applies any change, Kontext backs up exactly what it's about to change to a folder you can open in one click — so anything can be reversed.

None. Kontext is code-signed by Amathlai.com, installs nothing besides the app, shows no ads, and adds no toolbars. It only reads and changes Windows shell entries — and backs up every change first.

Yes — Kontext needs administrator rights to read and change your shell entries. It requests this for you when it launches.

Most shell changes only take effect after File Explorer restarts. Kontext does that for you with one click — no Task Manager needed.

A lot. Context menus, Send To, the Navigation Pane, Open With, the New menu, icon overlays, packaged (UWP) app handlers, CommandStore commands, property-sheet tabs, AutoPlay handlers and more — 20+ categories in one place.

It is free for 10 days with no signup. After that it is a one-time lifetime license (price shown on this page) — no subscription. Works on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
