CNET Editors' review
This handy tool tidies useless options on your Windows Explorer desktop menus but overlooks some other areas. An ultrasimple application, Mmm lets you configure every right-click context menu that appears on your desktop. To access its basic interface, just right-click on an icon or anywhere on the desktop, then click on the colored bar placed along the left side of the menu. From there you can drag and drop any menu item into either the hidden area, where they won't show at all or in the rarely used category, which becomes a quick submenu. On the downside, Mmm doesn't configure the menus in the Start menu, as it states, and it overlooks the system tray menus as well. Still, this software is free and does a good job at handling cluttered desktop context menus.
Publisher's Description
From HACE:
Is your windows context-menu growing all out of proportions? Every program you install on your system seems to add an item or two to this menu. Many of them you never use. Some you use sometimes. And a few you use often. Use this utility to customize your windows menus. Remove menu-items you never use. Put rarely used functions out on a sub-menu. Keep only those functions you often use in a small, tidy base menu. Just drag and drop the menu-items where you want them to go.

"It has really cleaned up the context window."
Version: Mmm 2.02
Pros
Unlike other software I've used to unclutter the context menu, Mmm lets me do so far more quickly and intuitively. Also, it makes no registry changes so returning to the original menu is easy.
Cons
None really. Buy the pro edition if you want to group menu items or have access to context menus beyond Windows Explorer.

VERY GOOD PROGRAM!!
Updated on Mar 17, 2011
I gave this program only 1 star because I had not been possible to download it(I do not know why).
Today I downloaded the installation file and I installed it.
I must say that this is a great software that deserves 5 ??stars (*****) stars.
Although the free version does not offer everything that the program can do, it is sufficient to change the context menu window and reduce some of the items that make it too long after years of computer use.
The program allows you to insert those items which are not used frequently in a different folder, while others that are never used can be placed in another folder.
The paid version offers the ability to do other folders according to the tastes of the user and also operate in other environments and other programs (browsers, etc..)

"Works great with PowerDesk"
Version: Mmm 2.02
Pros
The paid version works with programs other than explorer,
The free version works with explorer only.
Well worth the cost, Simplest most complete way to control those enormous context menus.Cons
The free version only works with Windows Explorer, Otherwise it is great. Most users do not need the paid version unless they are
using a third party file explorer.Summary
It is the only context menu controller which will control almost everything, All the others I have tried are difficult to use and will
not handle enough items.
Try it, You will love it. -

"Intuitive! Someone at HACE Software was thinking up good things..."
Version: Mmm 2.02
Pros
I'm a bit anal retentive about my computer. I hate it when core functionality (such as context sensitive menu items) lies out of my reach without any extent of expediency, yet every application installer under the sun modifies this aspect of the OS. I began looking for a way to streamline this outta control nuisance - I know exactly how I want my workstation to perform. Google damn near failed me. I ran across tons of registry ?hacks? but nothing very intuitive or that I could pass on to grandma. This app, though, when used in conjunction with Folder Options / File Types, permits users to configure every visible aspect of their context menus (this app) in XP along with the handlers for "Edit," "Preview," et al. Worth a try.
Cons
Too colorful for my tastes.

"Awesome software, liked freeware so much, purchased the extended software."
Version: Mmm 2.02
Pros
I just found the software easy to use, and was grateful to get a shorter right click menu. When I realized the purchased version offered more features I immediately purchased it. Love how it took 30 email addresses and allowed me to place them in subfolders. That by itself was well worth the cost.
Cons
My only gripe about this software is that some softwares keep disappearing from the menus. Flash Rename for instance. Older versions use only folder right click menu, but the latest version adds ability to have on right click menu on file view side of explore. Also, "copy" disappears, which should be a normal windows function all of the time, and winrar, can not be moved to a subfolder on some menus without it being removed from all right click menus. These are small annoyances tho compared to such a great software.
