Tweak: Hide fixed custom items in shell context menu

Post by xy123 »

I want custom items in the Folder Tree, but not in the File List.
After disabling all in the File List, I still get these:

Move to Other Pane
Copy to Other Pane
-------------------------------
Show 64-bit Context Menu
-------------------------------

So tweak to hide them would be nice, thank you.

I too still wish for this!
You can kinda achieve it by removing/renaming XY64ctxmenu.exe so that XYplorer can't see it.
The downside is that you'll see two separators where the entry should be:

I tried the 64-bit context menu for the first time in yeaarss and it's now super fast (but I've also just built a new system so it might be that too, I don't know!). Unfortunately it doesn't appear to respect the operating system theme so I get a white context menu instead of black:

I could use the 64-bit menu... but I've become quite attached to the useful Custom Items from XYplorers' menu :whistle:
The two seperators appearing isn't a huge problem, you just have to remember to rename/remove XY64ctxmenu.exe after every install/update (I use an AutoHotkey script to check and rename it if it exists in the directory)

Edit:
Just realised the double separators only appear when using Dual Panes, single view is fine. I guess its something to do with the 'Move/Copy to Other Pane' entries
