Windows "Send To" menu annoyance

I hate it when I open a menu (for example, I want to create a folder, I right click and I choose Create Folder), and it froze for 15 seconds when I move the cursor over the "Send to" sub menu.

I don't use this sub menu and the following action will remove it.

To remove this sub menu:
  • Open the registry editor: regedt32 (in command line)
  • Go to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/AllFilesystemObjects/shellex/ContextMenuHandlers/Send To"
  • Double click the "default value" field on the right column.
  • Delete the text value.
  • Exit the registry editor.
No more "Send To" option.
