I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. You might want to clarify it a bit. If you are running a Windows operating system, you might like to find Control Panel in the Start menu, click on it, and then click on Mouse. There you will see how to change the properties as to what your mouse does.

Given the lack of information, the following assumptions have been made in this answer:

- you are using Windows (95 to XP);
- you are speaking about the operating system context menus.



Context menus in a GUI environment generally display options relevant to the object clicked on. As with most internal, configurable settings in Windows, the menu items are stored in the Registry. This is where any applications that add their own items to the context menu will make their modifications and/or additions.

Given the level of knowledge displayed in the question, I definitely would not recommend randomly messing about with the Registry, but for the sake of providing a complete answer, the following URLs will give you more direction in that regard:

Annoyances.org - Customize Context Menus (http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-026)
Manage the context-menu entries for files, folders, drives and Namespace objects (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm)

Be careful if you decide to edit the Registry, and always back it up just in case.
