I rename files a lot and depend on my very quick and useful shortcut Alt_F_M to facilitate this many times a day when I organize things in Windows Explorer. But recently I've noticed this useless Mediainfo thing there so the shortcut gets stuck. Sure I

could hit the M letter twice but what I really need to understand is what determines what is shown under File (and Edit, View, etc). When I have the D drive highlighted Mediainfo is not under File. Only when File or Folder is highlighted is it present in

all its inglorious splendor. I've search for mediainfo in C drive as well as D drive where a lot of my programs reside to no avail. Its not in Add/Remove Programs of course. So its just some litter from a previous uninstall that's still hanging around.

 

 

Is it in the Registry? Group Policy? Maybe somebody could point me in a direction...:)

Please don't post Microsoft links. I never understand them as I'm mentally deficient in Microsoft-speak. Maybe its genetic. :)

Just need to know what I do to control what's displayed under these Menu items. Actually, this brings up another point: If I could control what is displayed there that would be wonderful and Windows Explorer would be even better than it already is...which

is pretty good as a File Manager. I tried Total Commander but found Windows Explorer much more fluid to use. Then again, I'm an idiot. :)

 

Its truly amazing how the vast majority of computer users have no clue where anything is on their system. When I map it out for them with Windows Explorer things start to fall in place in their mind. Its a shame Microsoft (and Apple is just as guilty about

this as anyone) doesn't have Windows Explorer as the default way to find stuff in the OS. Rather, so many people use shortcuts (like the Desktop!) which just confuse them greatly when they really need to find something manually. Then they're totally lost.

 

 

I'm listing this under Files, Folders and Online Storage. If this is the wrong category let me know please.
