  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.

      Yeah so cache it so it doesn’t take time to show you the options. Once you click it can go do bullshit loading. We have a software that used to load and cache the dialogs at first boot and it was fast to use, now it builds the dialog at runtime and is slow to display the options. It sucks.
