| Re: Remove "Edit", "Print", "Preview" from context menu? For all image types. In Folder Options, I clicked the JPG type and I don't see Preview and Edit options in the Advanced tab. All I could find was Open and Printto. Thanks. "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: > For which file type?

| Re: Remove "Edit", "Print", "Preview" from context menu? You can remove the "Edit" and "Print" actions from the registry. For image file types, use these steps: 1. Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT.EXE 2. Navigate to the following branch: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\she ll 3. Export (backup) the branch to a REG file. 4. Delete the two sub-keys namely "edit" and "print". 5.

| Re: Remove "Edit", "Print", "Preview" from context menu? Ramesh, thanks so much for your answers. However, once I deleted the "Preview" menu, "Edit" menu item popped up. And there are no "Open" and "Edit" keys, under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\she ll Where can I find this elusive "Edit" key in the registry? When I click Edit, the image is opened in the Picture and Fax Viewer. Thanks for your time. "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: > You're welcome, Mo.

| Re: Remove "Edit", "Print", "Preview" from context menu? Nevermind. The Edit option showed up in filetypes tab and I deleted the item for each image file type.
