Remove an item from right-click menu?

How do I remove an item from a right-click menu? An application I installed but later removed placed an item on my right-click menu. I want to remove the right-click item it placed there. I've looked in .../user/library/contextual menu and /library/contextual menu but don't see anything there that suggests it might be related.
Thanks.

I suddenly realized this was a FireFox Add-on. Once I realized that it was easy to go to Add-on menu in Firefox and remove it.
Problem solved.

  • How to remove old items from right-click contextual menus?

    So, I've installed two versions of Photoshop. The older CS4 and then recently upgraded to CS5. I've uninstalled some items (Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4) from the system using the Adobe uninstaller. But for some strange reason, if I control-click or right-click on an item, say a PDF, Photoshop CS4 or Illustrator CS4 Still show up in the list ...
    I've searched the ~/Library/ folder and can't find a Contextual menus folder.
    In the /Library/Contextual menus folder only 1 item is listed even if I show all files.
    Any ideas? I'm very much lost and I would really like to have the applications that no longer exist on the drive removed from the list... Thanks in advance

  • Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

    Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

    If by "contextual menu" you mean Right Clicking, then Yes, I now can highlight text (say a name in Address Book), right click it, and Spotlight searches for it.
    There is a little triangle next to the word Searching in Sys Pref; make sure it's pointing down and opens the sub-choices below it, i.e. Look up in Dictionary, Search with Google, and Spotlight.
    Let me know if this doesn't do it for you.
    Good luck.

  • Removing "Open With [Program]" from Right-Click menu

    I was looking around for Applications that could play .avi files and I found Perian  so decided to install it. After installing it I quickly found that it didn't work with all of my .avi files and after some further reading realized that Perian is no longer supported and apparently does not work with QT 10. I decided to uninstall it and use VLC player instead. After uninstalling Perian and removing it from the "System Properties" it looks like it's still showing up in the right-click menu for .avi files.
    My question is how do I remove this from being an option whenever I right-click an .avi file? Perian is no longer installed and I don't want to see it as an option.
    Thanks in advance

    This is probably because all the associated files have not been removed and it is still in the LaunchServices cache. To be sure you remove all associated files may require re-installing the app and using AppCleaner  to trash it and it's supporting files.
    Then, you may also need to clear LaunchServices caches
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the prompt to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • User Presets removed from right-click menu?  Why???

    I updated to LR CC 2015 yesterday and it appears that User Presets are no longer available in the right-click menu under Develop Settings.  Am I missing something?  Why in the world would they do this?  I am used to being able to grab a series of exposures for an HDR and apply a pre-export preset before sending them to Photomatix Pro.  I don't want to do this on import, because I shoot a mix of single exposures and bracketed sets, and I use different pre-Photomatix settings depending on the type of image and the style I'm going for in the final result.  Without the right-click option (which was already causing issues in 5.7), I now have to move my cursor over to my presets on the left side of the screen, apply the desired preset to the selected image, then move all the way across the screen to Sync the rest of the highlighted exposures, then go back to the right-click menu to export them to Photomatix.  What a complete pain.  The new HDR merge is nice for doing very natural HDRs of static subjects like architectural interiors, but it falls far short of the versatility and look of Photomatix Pro, and the deghosting is woefully inadequate compared to the robust options available in PP.  And, frankly, the whole program runs a whole lot slower than 5.7 did.  I'm feeling like my subscription was a huge waste of money.

  • How to know if delete series or occurrence in outlook 2010 in calendar from right click menu from UI?

    I need delete one series in outlook 2010, but when check this item by   
    OlRecurrenceState recurState = olApptNotRecurring;
    m_spItem->get_RecurrenceState(&recurState);
    recurState is always occurrence. I want to know which menu item I selected "Delete Series" or "Delete Occurrence"?

    Hello,
    The
    GetOccurrence method of the RecurrencePattern class returns a specific instance of the AppointmentItem object
    on the specified date. Then you may call the
    Delete method of the AppointmentItem class which removes the item from the folder that contains the item.
    The Delete method moves the item from the containing folder to the Deleted Items folder.
    If the containing folder is the Deleted Items folder, theDelete method removes the item permanently.
    The
    RecurrenceState property of the MailItem class returns an OlRecurrenceState constant
    indicating the recurrence property of the specified object. You can use it to determine whether it belongs to the recurrence or exceptions and etc.
    Be aware, when you work with recurring appointment items, you should release any prior references, obtain new references to the recurring appointment item before you access or modify the item, and release these references as soon as you are
    finished and have saved the changes. This practice applies to the recurring AppointmentItem object, and any Exception or RecurrencePattern object.
    Finally, you may find the
    How To: Create a new recurring Outlook Appointment item article helpful.

  • Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

    I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
    When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
    On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
    How can I fix this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Activate Panel from right-click menu

    Hi,
    I'm developing a PlugIn with InDesign SDK CS6 and need to activate (?, not really sure if this is the right term) the panel from somewhere else (right-click menu [RtMouseDefault]). Basically, like the Mini Bridge panel is activated when you right-click on a picture->Graphics->Show in Mini Bridge.
    I played around a bit but wasn't able to find a solution (guess I need to do something with my instance of the class PalettePanelView (?)), so would be glad if somebody could point me in the right direction.
    Thanks, kind regards

    Oooops, thats because it was one of mine.
    P.
    ===========
    HideShowPanelByID ( WidgetID w )
      InterfacePtr<IApplication> iApplication(GetExecutionContextSession()->QueryApplication());
      InterfacePtr<IPanelMgr> iPanelMgr(iApplication->QueryPanelManager());
      if (!iPanelMgr->IsPanelWithWidgetIDShown(w))
      iPanelMgr->ShowPanelByWidgetID(w);
      else
      iPanelMgr->HidePanelByWidgetID(w);

  • SAP BW 7 - Call URL from Right Click Menu

    Is it possible to make a http call from the right click menu? I know this was possible in 3.5, but the new code seems to have limited my ability to edit the options that appear when I right click on a field and I need to make a call out to another web server for some external data. Is this possible?
    Any information that anyone has about a potential work around would be great!!
    Thx.

    Kristine,
    Have you tried using RRI (Transaction RSBBS)? You can call URL , pass values etc.

  • Why did Word on Office 2013 REMOVE Auto Correct from Right-Click Context Menu??

    Hi Microsoft -
    I normally don't rant, but this is a killer feature removal, and the reason given is for aesthetics - 'Removal of clutter" is how it's worded here:
    [Changes in Office 2013]
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178954(en-us).aspx
    I copy n pasted below the operative row from the linked TechNet page as to the reason WHY this critical (and very popular feature) has been removed from Microsoft Office 2013 Word's context-menu: LESS CLUTTER
    And your answer is ambiguous and doesn't solve the issue that you created to make things prettier: "Click the AutoCorrect Options button" Then what?  ADD EACH WORD MANUALLY? 
    Please advise ALL OF US that want this feature back how to have our commonly misspelled words fixed and added automatically to the dictionary.  If I am missing this in a major way somehow, I apologize completely and will issue a public apology via any
    social media platform of your choice.  If it really is gone, and I have to manually add the entries into a buried table 6-clicks deep, then I will issue a public excoriation of this feature on as many social platforms of my choice.
    Sincerely,
    Maximus Mednick

    Modifying the feature
    Auto-Correct and certain formatting tools are no longer available from the spelling error context menu.
    To make Word 2013 cleaner and less cluttered, we removed AutoCorrect and certain formatting tools from the spelling error context menu. The features are still available in Word 2013 through other entry points within the Word user interface.
    Less clutter in the spelling error context menu. This enables users to find popular commands more quickly. In addition, the spelling error context menu now fits better on the screen.
    To change AutoCorrect options, do the following:
    Choose File -> Options -> Proofing
    Choose the AutoCorrect Options button.

    Microsoft used to be about allowing users to customize the OS and apps however they want. This was one reason I have always preferred Windows over Mac. There are 5 ways to do any one thing, and you can customize it to do it however you want. It's all about
    user choice. Please don't go the way of Apple and force users into the way that you *think* we should do things. 
    <rant>
    While I whole heartedly agree with this suggestion, if you look through this blog about the design decisions that went into the 2007 ribbon:
    Jensen Harris: An Office User Interface Blog -
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jensenh/archive/2008/03/12/table-of-contents.aspx
    You'll see that one of the considerations of the ribbon was to ELIMINATE/REDUCE customization because it was costing large corporate customers too much time/money to support their users with 2003 customized menu/toolbars.  In other words, the ribbon
    was intentionally built as a fixed design so that average user cannot change it.  The QAT was an afterthought, a sop, to allow users minimal customization. 
    They found that the 2007 lock down was too much of a "good thing", too much like the good old "IBM 360 green screen" (even if most people don't recognize the reference), so in 2010 they
    re-introduced limited Ribbon customization within the UI.
    But you still can't customize the default tabs. And to add injury to insult, if you do want to customize a default tab and go to the effort of trying to recreate the default tabs and groups
    within the Ribbon UI, you'll eventually find that YOU CAN'T'! There is no way inside the UI to force the buttons to layout the same way! AHHH!
    Even in 2007,
    EXPERTS have had the option of creating custom Ribbons/tabs by editing XML, but that is pretty serious programming, out of scope for 99% of users.
    The "solution" to the problem was too simple. Just add an option to allow users to turn on the old menu UI.  Even if it had been buried as a registry hack, the people who really wanted it would have learned about it. Then MS could have collected statistics
    on usage that would have "proved" that the menu was preferred over the ribbon.  The thing is, if the ribbon was defaulted "out of the box", over time people would eventually all switch over to it. Simply because it was the default, because MS only produced
    new training material referring for the ribbon
    Now, I'll concede that the ribbon really may be more "intuitive", but only for new users. For long time users the change is very jarring.
    They made the same choice with Windows 8.  In the last Windows 8 consumer Preview there was a registry hack to bypass the Start Screen.  I learned about it in July or August. But MS was so sure the Start screen/metro was the only way to go they
    rushed out a Windows Update to eliminate that registry entry. And it was eliminated from the RTM version. 
    WHY?
    Why did they remove the user's right to chose the UI that worked best for them? I don't know.
    </end rant>  sorry, this is a hot button for me.

  • Services missing from right click menu?

    I was trying to install some services that I created using applescripts and ThisService. The problem I'm having is that Services is not available in the menu when I right click on a folder or file. Looking under Keyboard in the system preferences, I can see all of the different services that are availible. I have the ones I'd like to use checked but no services appear in the menu when I right click. I've tried resetting defaults in the preferences, logging in and out, restarting and nothing helps. I found another post that said open terminal and run this /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs. When I enter that in the terminal, I get this message "No languages specified - assuming English" and nothing changes. I'm running 10.6.8 and I know that Services used to be avalible in the menu. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    You mean this ThisService?  Never heard of it before.
    Why don't you create services using Automator (in /Applications)?  That's one of the things it is designed to do.  It has no problem with making sure they are properly created and installed in ~/Library/Services so that the finder can see them there under the conditions desgnated when you create them.  You don't even have to log out and back in.
    Note, if you like using applescript you can use applescript in automator too.

  • "Browse in Adobe Bridge" from Right Click Menu

    Adobe Suite CC2014
    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
    In earlier versions of Adobe Bridge, if you right context a folder, "Browse in Adobe Bridge" was an item.
    This no longer appears to be the case.
    Is there a Preference setting to make this occur?
    Thanks in advance.
