 Is there a way to remove the DeskTop context-menu items (Desktop Profiles & DeskTop Divider)???  I've already unchecked the Enable boxes. Maybe unregister a dll.

 Hello Neil,

Thanks for the post.

We'll try to make this items optionally.

You can disable all desktop context menu items using following command:
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Actual Window Manager\ActualWindowManagerShellExtension.dll"

Best regards.

 Hello Aravin

Try this one:
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Actual Multiple Monitors\ActualMultipleMonitorsShellExtension.dll"

or

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files(x86)\Actual Multiple Monitors\ActualMultipleMonitorsShellExtension.dll"

if you're running 64-bit OS.

Best regards.

 This command should delete the entry from the registry, not add. Please make sure you enter this command correctly.

Also you must restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Best.

 I need badly to remove these items (because honestly I don't use them) but I use most of other AWM features.
I'm at Windows 8, 64bit and I thought maybe this is 64bit issue but Aravin TS is at 32bit.
I have program called ShellToys which have feature customizing menus but it's not working at 64bit (or Windows 8 not sure).
I got used to have small and narow menus so please is there ay option to remove them.
I tried command:

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files(x86)\Actual Window Manager\ActualWindowManagerShellExtension64.dll"

and it's not working.

Edit: is it safe to delete ActualWindowManagerShellExtension64.dll? :)
Edit 2: I can't delete it, won't me let but I deleted 2 registry entries where was included ActualWindowManagerShellExtension64.dll and I restarted computer but still menu items are there.
Edit 3: Finally I removed menu items from desktop context menu. Because I have installed 2 operational systems, I went to my XP Home and I deleted ActualWindowManagerShellExtension64.dll. Not sure if this works in Safe Mode but you can try. I thought if not safe to delete it but if so I reinstall application, but no need for it. Now my desktop context menu is better.

 Hello Xahi4475.

Oh, don't mention it :)

We'll pay attention to this problem and try to figure out why the command doesn't work.

Best regards.

 The problem was in the missing space in Program Files (x86). :)

Try it now, it must work.

 Wow, you're absolutely right. User added an image
Thank You again.
But, why didn't work in Aravin TS's case? That confused me. Anyway no need to delete ActualWindowManagerShellExtension64.dll.
Have fun, mr. Bogdan. User added an image

Edit: yeah command worked but when I restarted Windows nothing is removed from menu si it';s same case like Aaravin TS. So, still deleting ActualWindowManagerShellExtension64.dll is better choice (fo now). User added an image
