Default Is there a way to chage the \"right click\" menu items?

You know....when you right click on a file, you have a number of options. For example, when I right click on a music file, I see Play in Winamp, Enqueue in Winamp, Add to Winamp Bookmark List, Open, Add to Sync List, Add to Burn List, etc... Is there a way for me to edit these menus?

When I right-click on any file, I get dozens of possible commands. WinZip has a few, WinAce has a few, WinRar has a few, my virus scanner has a couple, on and on. These aren't for a specific file-type, these are for every file.

Where are these in the registry?

P.S. I tried searching for "Add to archive..." (the first of the unnecessary context-insensitive commands) but found found nothing.

I do not know where this information is stored in the Registry, but I know that when installing these programs it 90% of the time will give you the option.

check each program's options to see if you can change it after installing. the option should be something like "...option in Context Menu"

i have a feeling that you can only choose this when installing though, when it runs through the step where you choose what shortcuts to the program you want.
