Default How to remove Desktop context menu items

w98se, my menu has been overtaken by a glut of unnecessary items. Tweak UI
will remove them but a warning states (You need to reinstall program
responsible --- to restore the template). I do not know if this is the only or
safest way to remove these items? Thank you.

Some can be found in C:\WINDOWS\SendTo\, others are strictly contained in
the registry. Depends upon what it is and what its function requires.
Teakui is warning that to restore the context item will likely require
re-installing [or re-configuring via Options or otherwise] the application
or function that was removed. This presumes you are actually discussing
'context' menus and not 'content' menus.

Yes, that's generally the outcome. The caveat is it MAY break some
functions, though that is rarely the case.
