For example WinZip and Adobe Photoshop behave this way.
- Shell Extensions. This list contains all the registered shell extensions. Shell extension means that program can register some file types for itself and define some operations with it. For example you can view a text file (.txt) with Notepad by double clicking such file and you can print the contents of a file by right clicking it and selecting print from the menu. Many times programs create a lot of unneeded shell extensions, you can remove all the shell extensions you think you won't be needing. Notice that you can also modify existing shell extensions with the Modify button.
- IE Context Menu. The list contains all the context menu tools of Internet Explorer.
