Hi, does anyone how to hide (or show) one of the elements showed at the desktop popup menu

maybe you can specify that values in the registry?

thanks
 
If you mean the menu when you click on "Start" then you can drag and drop anything to the list on the left hand side. and you can remove anything by right-clicking that item and select remove from this list. If you want to add or remove stuff on the right hand side you can do so by right-clicking the start button and select properties, then select "start menu" tab, "customize", "advanced" tab and you can add and remove any of the items in that list. If you want to add something that is not on that list, it is possible but it is probably best left alone as it is definately not simple. probably 8/10 in difficulty maybe a 9/10.

I mean the popup menu that appears when you right-click over the desktop. I need to know how to delete some items that appears in that menu, and I have to do it in several PCs
 
I tried with ShellExView but i couldn't find anything related to desktop.

sorry, my mistake i confused it with right clicking on files and folders. Had a little dig around though and it appears as though no-one knows how to do it. Looking forward to finding out if that is true.

What has this Reg Key got to do with it? Have a look at the Value "Classes", HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\ShellNew
