Is there a way to edit context menus that have unneeded items?

Some of them (mine) are getting real long and contain a lot of unnecessary items.

You can select context menu via TLB Settings->Context Menu.

Also you can edit or create your own menus by editing context menu templates. You can find them in the TLB installation folder:
c:\program files\truelaunchbar\contextmenu

Yuri:

I saw the "TLB Settings->Context Menu.", but was entirely unclear as to how to remove (disable) items this way... I looked in the help, but it had just said "Select the context menu template...."

I'll take a look at the templates. Hopefully they will be geared to a slow-learner such as myself...

Can you maintain items in the current context menu that you want to keep? And also, can you "reset to default" if you mess up?

Yuri:

Using the "TLB Menu in submenu" I was certainly able to reduce the clutter somewhat... thanks.

Which of the XLM files is relevant for the "Buttons", since this was the item I changed in the TLB settings?

Can I just rem out items, or must I totally remove them?

By the way, I just want you to know that TLB is near the top of my list as the most useful utility I have (with XP-Pro) as far as making life a lot easier, and turning the Quick Launch Bar into what it was meant to be from the start.

Chuck

Each XML file have the name:
<tlbmenu name="Without Shell/Button">

If you tell me how you want to be menu looks I can prepare a template for you.

Yuri:

That's a tough one, because it is "item sensitive" -- in other words, if I right-click on a folder, one of the items is for spyware / AV scans. But if I right-click -0n a graphic shortcut, one of the items is for Paint Shop Pro.

I wouldn't know how necessarily to make that kind of selection process work.

It's OK, a lot better than OK, the way it is, now that TLB items are in a sub-menu.

Thanks,
Chuck
