A simple query ...

[DarkAngel]

Anyone has any idea how to grey out the cut / copy /paste context menus in the right click ? I am searching for the reg key for that .. Probably its in the shell of the HKLM explorer key .. Am not sure . Anyone got the exact reg key for doing this ?

This is the closest I could get atm:

This utility can give you the registry keys that you need to modify,

sorry if it's too complicated for you...

I spend like 15 min searching on google for the correct keys, this utility gives you the correct registery keys?

Sorry I had already used this software to disable context menu items, but cut, copy, paste context menus are not in.

On a similar note, does anyone know how to add items to the context menu that pops up when a CD or other removable drive is inserted?

I'd like to add one of my autoit scripts as an option, for copying photographic files.

William

Have you already see a Right Click Context Menu that pops up ?

I have found an autohotkey script that should do what you want ;

expandcollapse popup

#SingleInstance Force
#NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv


MF_BYPOSITION := 0x0400, MF_GRAYED := 0x01

Loop {

        WinWait, ahk_class #32770
        WinGetClass, class, A
        If class in Progman,CabinetWClass,ExploreWClass
        {
                SendMessage, 0x01E1
                MenuID := ErrorLevel
                Loop, % DllCall("GetMenuItemCount", UInt, MenuID)
                {
                        if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Cut"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)

                                if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Cut"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)

                                if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Copy"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)

                                if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Paste"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)

                                if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Delete"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)

                                if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Copy To"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)

                                if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Move To"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)

                                if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Send To"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)

                                if RegExReplace(GetMenuItemText(MenuID, A_Index-1), "&")="Rename"
                                DllCall("EnableMenuItem", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", A_Index-1, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED)
                }
        }
        WinWaitClose
}

GetMenuItemText(ByRef MenuID, i, MenuStrlen=0){
        global MF_BYPOSITION
        VarSetCapacity(MenuStr, MenuStrLen)
        Len := DllCall("GetMenuString", "UInt", MenuID, "UInt", i, "str", MenuStr, "UInt", MenuStrLen, "UInt", MF_BYPOSITION)
        if(MenuStrLen=0 and Len!=0)
                return GetMenuItemText(MenuID, i, Len+1)
        Else
                return MenuStr
}

If someone know how convert it...
