Windows 10 Clean Up Shell Context Menu for File, Folder

Right click menu taking a long time to appear? Clean up menu’s that are taking time & obsolete on your system; these worked for me:

1. Remove NVIDIA “Run with Graphics” menu from context menu

2. Remove Other menus using ShellEx:

3. Remove “Gove access to” menu

Open RegEdit

        Go to : 

        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked

Create a new string value here named {f81e9010-6ea4-11ce-a7ff-00aa003ca9f6}.

4. Remove other annoying menus:

including:

"restore previous versions" :  {596AB062-B4D2-4215-9F74-E9109B0A8153}

"shared folder synchronization" : {6C467336-8281-4E60-8204-430CED96822D}

“Give access to” : {f81e9010-6ea4-11ce-a7ff-00aa003ca9f6}

All 3 disabled should look like:

5. Remove Folder Shell Menus, for example “Include in Library” ect ect

Open RegEdit

Browse to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Delete Keys that are not needed

Get Count of items in a Google Drive Folder

So , you uploaded 100+ files to a Google Drive folder, you upload, you wait and now you want to confirm,. However, now there is no easy way to check that file count in the Google Folder,. While on Windows (or your OS of choice) there is a method to easily check the file count in said folder, in Google Drive folders there is not. Thus due to Google’s infinite wisdom of not supplying an OS equivalent Folder operation like “Count” for users, there are several “hacks” that we as users must perform in order to get the what one would think is an intrinsic property such as Folder Item Count,. Programmatically, this would be something like Folder.Items.Colunt or some other qualifier/property accessor.

Thus here we are, as users to implement a-round about way to access such property that should in a just world would simply be available from the Right Click / Context Menu!

Method 1:

• Right-click on a folder and select 'Download'. You'll often (but not always) see a count of the included files.
• Open a folder, scroll to the end of the list, type A to select all, choose 'More' and select 'Move to'. That will give you a total number of files, after which you can cancel the move.
• Control-click a folder to open in a new tab. The new tab will show the number of files, but only if there are less than 500.

Method 2 :

1. open the folder
2. repeatedly scroll down until you reach the end the folder. You can use the End key
3. select all the files using Shift+A
4. mouse over the "share" button to see the number of files: "share N items".

fast Copy Filter Folders / Exclude Folders

FastCopy: exclude directories and delete files unique to destination #

• To copy all files and folders on S: except for S:\foo\ and S:\bar\, check the Filter box and enter \foo\ ; \bar\ into the Exclude field. Omitting the leading backslash will skip all directories named "foo" or "bar", regardless of location.

• Options to review when enabling the filter: Option > Main Settings > Copy/Move Options > "Don't create empty directory, if 'Filter' is checked." and Option > Main Settings > Delete Options > "Try to delete directory, even if 'Filter' is checked."

• Delete files and folders unique to the destination by changing the operation mode in the dropdown box from the default "Diff (No overwrite)" to "Sync (Size/Date)"

• Appending a backslash to the target directory will result in a new directory being created therein.

3. Other Settings

The following list contains suggestions for ensuring optimum performance when working with your Filmora editing application on a Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 system:

· Disable CPU throttling.

· In Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options, select High Performance.

· Do not enable the Windows Display setting “Show window contents while dragging.” This setting hinders redraw performance on your Filmora editing system.

· In Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Personalization > Window Color and Appearance > Effects, deselect Show window contents while dragging.

· Enable setting to adjust for best performance.

· In Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System > Advanced System Settings > Performance Settings, select Adjust for best performance.

· Disable Desktop compositing.

· Follow this guide here regarding correct Desktop Composition Settings

· Disable Windows Defender.

· In Control Panel > Security > Windows Defender > Tools > Options > Administrator Options, deselect Use Windows Defender > Save.

· Disable Sidebar.

· Right-click the Sidebar or Sidebar icon on your desktop > Properties > Deselect Start Sidebar when Windows starts > Right click icon and select Exit.

· Disable Hibernation in the Power options.

· In Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Power Options > Change when the computer sleeps > Put the computer to sleep, select Never.

· Set automatic updates to Notify you but don’t automatically download.

· In Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Windows Updates > Change settings, select “Notify me but don’t automatically download them or install them.”

· Turn off the firewall for Filmora Interplay.

· In Control Panel > Security > Windows Firewall, select Turn Windows Firewall on or off.

· Do not leave the Console window open when you edit. The performance of your Filmora editing system slows considerably when the Console window is open.

· Do not leave a Windows Explorer window open. Windows Explorer attempts to update file information.

· Do not leave an e-mail application open if it is set to do periodic checks for mail.

· Do not run any application that periodically “wakes up” and performs an action.

· Disable screen savers.

· Do not keep media on the same partition where you install your Filmora editing application. Filmora recommends external media drives.

· Always use small fonts with the display driver to avoid missing characters in the dialog boxes in your Filmora editing application.

· After you move a drive from one system to another, restart your system. Windows does not recognize the drive until you restart.

· Ensure you do not accidentally delete locked items from your desktop.

· Right-click the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop > Properties > General tab > Display delete confirmation dialog.

· When you advance by single frames through the Timeline, deselect Render On-the Fly to enable faster response time.

· In your Filmora editing application, deselect Clip > Render On-the-Fly

· Do not name files with special characters (/ \ : ? ” < > | *). Windows does not recognize special characters in file names. Bin names are limited to 27 characters (not including the four characters reserved for the file name extension).

· Do not schedule automatic backups at times when your Filmora editing system might be in use.
