On many occasions I right click a video file to change it's name. However, just below the Rename selection is the Delete selection. So, on occasion I have hit that button by mistake. I know you can go into the registry to add or delete some items but I assume delete and rename are fixed items. All I would like to do is move the delete selection to the bottom of the list. Is there a simple way to do that?

I really can't help you with how to reorganize item order in a drop-down menu, but as far as renaming goes, here is what I find to be my most optimal procedure. I set the double-click speed to its fastest position in the mouse control panel. Then it will take a very rapid double-click to open a file. But now putting the mouse pointer on the file name and doing a slow(er) double-click will give you the same result as the right-click_scroll-down_click procedure for renaming.
As each individual persons manual dexterity differs, some may find an overly fast mouse double-click speed requirement to be undesirable.
EDIT: After rethinking this a bit, the mouse double click speed does not have to be at its fastest setting for this procedure. Basically, the setting relates to how fast or slow a double-click speed is necessary to rename the file vs. opening it. A little experimentation may be needed to find your best setting. -
I just set folder options to single-click

Safer way to rename a file is click once on the file to highlight it then click once on the text,then rename it.

works for me
I did it in XP w/ Registry Robot
you can do it in Win 7 w/ Win 7 manager
ps. he can also change his mouse cursor to cross hairs in mouse properties if it will improve his aim
ps. johnsO suggestion is best I've heard if you like double-click enabled on your system, I have never had a reason to use double-click, if a program really needs or wants you to double click it will make you no matter what your settings are

I was a little unclear about my problem to some extent.
When I have a DVD folder on my hard disk and I want to change the name of folder (change the name of the movie)
I right click the folder and the pop up occurs asking me what I want to do. In the changing of so many names , the proximity of the RENAME and DELETE (one above the other) in the popup options, it is just my inattention that is the problem. It is further compounded by the fact that my inattention might on occasion go far enough to delete a folder that is too large for the recycle bin and I actually delete it.
I've looked in the Micrsoft Knowledge base and found ways to delete some of the right click options but I have not found a way to move the delete option away from everything else. After years of living with this minor problem I thought I would look into moving it and so far, it appears to be unmovable. Even creating a separator around DELETE would be helpful enough.

Try it on a network share. If you accidentally delete a file on another computer it doesn't go the the recycle bin. You have to use file recovery tools to restore the file.

I'm surprised Microsoft doesn't add "format drive with no confirmation dialog" right next to rename too! -

If you have problem clicking what you want maybe you need confirmation

"OZ has spoken"

A different way, don't use the right-click, just select the file in Explorer and hit "F2" to rename.
F1 is help, F3 is search, so no harm done if you miss that.
And a third way: select the item, then left-click in the name under the item. -

F2 will work fine for me and it's even easier to use.
Thanks
