Default action in Windows 7 for 'Edit' is to open image in Paint. I don't use Paint. I hate Paint. I don't want to see it ever again. Can I reassign it to, say, Paint.NET? Or if I can't, how can I remove it altogether, so this link won't clutter my context menu?
P.S. Maybe remove "Set as desktop backgroud" too?

These menus are called Context Menus , there is a program called ShellMenuView http://www.nirsoft.net/x64_download_package.html Comes in 32bit or 64bit it can show these context and classes items, then with a right click, it can put you in Registry editor at thier location , and edit them from there. When a program opens the regedit and jumps you to a key, At times a registry Jump doesnt land in the correct place. Just select the top item in the registry or close regedit and then it will work. a Backup of the registry before changing the registry would be good. I tested what you want to do, and you have to change ALL of the classes for the pictures types you want to change. so Bmps Jpegs etc. I was thinking a faster method might be to search the Whole registry for the MsPaint Program and just do a replace of it one by one carefully. [F3] does a find next in regedit. a program by the same name, or a repackaging of this program, has had reports of being a trojan. Make sure you get it from the source, or reliable location. And run a scan on it, to be sure? | ||||

This is the first answer, I should have used, but I didnt test right. This is much harder on the eyes, and more dangerous. autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902 This program made by the great System Internals, is one of the most comprehensive views of all the ways and things that run on your system. You can heal or destroy a system with it, by selection, disable , enable, and delete of items. I reccomend a full image backup of your system, and a save of your settings in autoruns prior to messing with things in it. It defaults to not showing "microsoft" entries. Which is a good way to see mostly 3rd party stuff and system additions. The items that can be more safely disabled. To get the whole view, your going to want go to |Options| and show microsoft and windows entries. now (hold onto your eyes) go to |File| and hit |Refresh| (or F5) . Now look in the |explorer| tab, and you will see Context Menu Handlers , and Property sheets and everything. this should allow you to disable/delete and remove the menu items completely, jump to the item in the registry, and jump to the item at its file location. Disclaimer : Have a full image backup of your system , that does not require the system to recover (like boots from a cd or usb stick). and be very carefull. You are now in control :-) | ||||
