The common user however does not use this function really often, in fact, he may also find it annoying since it might cause short freezes on slower computers if one accidently hovers the mouse over it and thus makes it load a list of applications. But as for every other problem on your computer there is also a solution for this one, disabling the Send to command with the registry.

STEP 1: Click on Start Menu and open run command and type regedit. (WINDOWS + R)

STEP 5: On the right hand side pane, double click on the (Default) String value and in its field, enter the path name of the application you would like to start when somebody clicks on the paint context menu option.

STEP 6: Now when I right click on my desktop, a new menu item called paint has been added to the context menu.


STEP 7: When I click on the Paint option, then obviously Microsoft Paint will start on My Computer.
