...Could anyone tell me how to do this? x_x My context menus are enormous with random crap, and I would like to maybe change a couple things as well—like change the default editor for .ahk.

i know how to adjust the editor - Go to tools, folder options, filetypes, find the (three?) AHK entries and edit the right one.

other context menu bits are likely stored in the registry, try searching for the text of an entry. Not sure how they work. I know some programs allow you to turn them off within that program's preferences.

As for any program that updates the registry, use with care.

If you just want to change the default editor for AutoHotkey, just open Windows Explorer, Tools (menu), Folder Options (menu option), click on the File Types tab, go down to and select the AHK extension, press the Advanced button and then edit the "Edit Script" option. If you uninstall/install AutoHotkey a lot, you can write a Q&D AutoHotkey script to make this change.

Thanks for the link, jballi!

A question to both of you about changing the editor... In Vista, there is no menu bar at the top. I did manage to open the Folder Options window (had to go through the help file o_O;; ) but it doesn't have a File Types tab... Just curious if you have any knowledge about how to do this in Vista.

I just found this program but it looks like what you need if you can't figure out how to make the changes in Vista.

Use with care.
