CCleaner was one of the first tools out there for cleaning up and optimizing Windows. It\u2019s basically a Swiss Army knife for system maintenance \u2014 deletes temp files, clears web browsing history, manages startup items, and so on. Over the years, the developer added more features, making it arguably the best free maintenance tool for Windows. It\u2019s a decent all-in-one solution that\u2019s easy to use, especially if you\u2019re someone who just wants a quick cleanup or to troubleshoot problems.<\/p>\n
The latest versions, especially from 3.20 onward, have this neat feature to tweak context menu entries. Basically, you can remove or disable unwanted items that show up when you right-click files or folders. Maybe some junk or old shortcuts clutter the menu, and this helps tidy that up without messing with your actual installed programs. So, to give it a shot, open CCleaner, click on Tools<\/strong>, then go to Startup<\/strong>, and switch over to the Context menu<\/strong> tab. From there, you\u2019ll see a list of entries \u2014 you can delete or disable each one. Deleting just hides it from the menu and doesn\u2019t uninstall any apps, which is nice. But be aware, it won\u2019t remove default Windows entries like Restore previous versions<\/strong> or Create shortcut<\/strong> from the context menu. That\u2019s a no-go with this version.<\/p>\n Up to date, you can grab the latest CCleaner from the developer\u2019s page (link at the end).It\u2019s available in a straightforward setup that works for both x86<\/strong> and x64<\/strong> Windows systems. Or if you\u2019re just testing things out, or wanna run it off a USB without installing, the portable version is also there. Works with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 \u2014 pretty much everything modern, really.<\/p>\n
