After using WIN98 for a while many programs add options for right-click
menus. Especially when clicked in the desktop.
Is there a way to edit these menus or delete options?

Go to Windows Explorer, View Menu, Options, File Types tab. Here you can edit the context menus (as the right click menus are properly referred as) by file type.

If you want to edit or add an option for all files, you need to do some registry hacking. Then you can add an option to all files, or only unknown file types. Look in the registry editor under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key. The * entry is for all files, and the Unknown key is for files that aren't associated with anything. These two options aren't available through the dialog box.

Thanks.
I got there (View--Options--File Type) but found no mention to context menus.
Are they accessible other way?
