This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Of course opening the context menu takes its time. It's gotta load a whole Electron framework first.

you just need a registry cleaner for that, dump out all the non-stock entries out of the list.

It should cache those until your file extensions get a reg edit, there is no need to build the context menu fresh every time

Ohh no, it's not that it's building the menu.

Each one of those extra lines is a hook to a dll.

Now if your apps are small or the context menu for them is will done, it's hardly a blip But if you installed 27 different apps that want to be in the context menu and they're all 100mb..... that takes some time.
