Remove Print Context Menu Command for Windows

Easily get rid of your Print function

Remove Print Context Menu Command is a free system utility that enables you to either enable or disable the “Print” command on your desktop’s context menu. Developed by Winaero, this handy little tool allows you to customize whatever is displayed on your menu when you right-click with your mouse.

Similar to Startup Sound Changer, however, Remove Print Context Menu Command is an application with a highly specific function. It’s also designed for a command that you can easily ignore. If you want more functionality, Winaero Tweaker is the better tool from this developer.

How do I remove the print context menu?

There are several items you can click on when you open the context menu, which is a pop-up for whenever you interact with a user interface. Right-clicking on any window will sometimes show different commands depending on what you’re clicking on. Doing this on an item from the File Explorer—whether it’s a simple file or application—will usually display the option to Open, Edit, Compress, Cut, Copy, and so on.

Amid the numerous functions available is also usually the option to “Print”, which will open the appropriate window and run the printer that your PC is connected or set to. However, most of the time, this function is useless and unnecessary when you can just open your preferred program and print through that. You can use Remove Print Context Menu Command to disable it permanently. 

In order to work, you must have Administrator access on your PC. First, extract its ZIP file and place all contents directly on your desktop. Then, unblock the files and double-click on its registry file to merge them. To restore it at any time, just use the “Add Print To Context Menu” registry file. However, other than this, the program doesn’t do anything else.

Just as the title entails

All in all, Remove Print Context Menu Command is a great little utility if you want to get rid of a specific command on your right-click menu. It’s easy to use as long as you have Admin rights and even includes an undo tweak in case you want the Print command back. However, it’s a one-use kind of tool and doesn’t offer other functions, unlike the developer’s all-in-one solution, Winaero Tweaker.
