What is Context Menu or Right-Click Menu on Windows? Context Menu (also known as Right-Click Menu) is a convenient functionality of a Windows OS that allows to quickly and easily access an application for a selected task. For instance, to delete a file/folder, right-click on it and select the “Delete” option. For those who want to copy a file or folder to another place, right-click on it and select the “Copy” option and then on a new place, right-click and select the “Paste” option from the context menu.
The Context menu also helps you access the “Properties” of a file or folder by right-clicking on it and selecting the “Properties” option. Many tasks can be performed on a Windows PC by just right-clicking on a file/folder. Even on the free space on the desktop, you can select the “Personalize” option to change the appearance of various items of Windows. Apart from the built-in functions of Windows OS, many applications integrate themselves to right-click the context menu and let’s operate the software from there itself.
As we can see in the above examples, without Context Menu, we can not move even one step on a Windows PC. But, what actually happens, when we install or play with a lot of applications, most of them integrate themselves into right-click menu, and the context menu gets jumbled or cluttered. When you actually need a correct application to open a file, you have to go through a list of right-click context menus. Hence, we should always keep them clean by removing the unnecessary context menu.
