Many application integrates some of their functions to the right-click menu. This is great for access simplicity, but on the other side this makes the menu becomes too cluttered that a user sometimes may take a while in finding the command needed. This means less productivity than it should be.

Fortunately, some applications let the user to fully control the integrated functions. They can be disabled completely or only for several functions, grouped into a container, and marked by specific icons for easy navigation. However, there are some other applications that somehow do not give this management privilege. The integrated commands can not be disabled unless the program is uninstalled, or there is completely no option for you to manage how the commands appear on the right-click menu.

This is the situation where this simple software called Mmm can help you a lot. Even with the free version of it, you still can totally manage the right-click menu items. Moreover, the menu's look is replaced with a more attractive one.

What is it?
Mmm free: a free software for Windows to customize the context-menu into the user's preference.

How it works?
Mmm works by letting the user to entirely hide the visibility of the commands selected or group them into a separate container called "Rarely used".

The first choice is good for a program that forces its functions to be integrated but leaving no option to be disabled while they are not actually needed to appear on the right-click menu, and is also good to remove some standard integrated Windows commands such as Refresh which can easily be executed by pressing the F5 button by default.

The grouping is helpful when you have several commands that keep appearing everytime a folder or file is right-clicked no matter what the extension is, but you need them quite often. Unfortunately, you will not be able to organize them into specific containers.

The simple, standard menu itself will be replaced by a colorful one. The colors will change randomly whenever you right-click on different files or folders. On the colored bar, there is a button to access its main window.

As you can see from the picture, there are two panels. One contains all the context-menu items, and the another is where you can drag and drop the items to be hidden or grouped. Once you are satisfied with the configuration you made, you can have a backup of it by saving the setting to the registry.



This software, just like other free softwares which have the pro versions, has limited functions. The menu replaced is only able to be accessed when you right-click on the Windows explorer's right panel, Start menu's items, and the desktop. To have it works on more places such as on save/open dialog you need the pro version. If you find it useful, buy it. If not, don't waste your money.
