That would be nice to be able to do, but editing the right-click
context menus is not something that is easy. I think the right click
entries are in the registry CLSID settings, which are numerous and
nearly impossible to work with.
Perhaps you can do it with PowerDream. Its description says "The
program also moves the items out on a sub-menu, enabling you to remove
some of the items from your growing base menu. Consequently, making it
smaller and more manageable." It may be worth looking into.
