Uncovered a few right-click context menu items for those of you like me who don't have printers.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;Remove Print From HTML Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\print];Remove Print From Wordpad RTF Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rtffile\shell\print];Remove Print From Batch Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\print];Remove Print From CMD Files
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\print]
Copy paste the code in notepad and save file as .reg file.
Run the file, double click it and an information box will pop up asking if you want to merge the information in the file into the registry, click yes.
You can now delete the registry file as you won't be needing it any more.
UPDATE: Remove all "Print" item from the context menu(s) of files:

Awesome, the download was just what I was looking for!
BTW this works for me in Windows 7
Thanks a tonn :D
thanks a lot. this worked perfectly
I added
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\print]
to remove the menu from text files also
Very useful article. Any idea how to get rid of it on PDF files? There doesn't seem to be an HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pdffile key in my registry. I'm also noticing the same problem with old-style word files as well as all types of images.
The print entry in the context menu is the dumbest thing ever in the windows world.
If you are using the "Open with..." entry very often and you don't have additional software installed that put its own entry between "Print" and "Open with..." you are going crazy very soon.
It happens all the time - i want to click "Open With..." but the click goes on "Print" and Windows immediately prints the file without any further asking.
Thank you very much for this post as it saves a lot of ink / pages.
Why would anyone want to print a document without opening the printer dialog. Microsoft i hate u so much. Thanks for the reg file.
You can remove the "Edit" context menu items by changing "print" to "edit" in your .reg file - thanks!
Thanks!
I like this because I never print, in fact I never use text on paper!
The biggest annoyance for me was the Print shell menu for .bat and .reg files for which I often use Edit, and would sometimes accidentally click Print.
Thanks!

You can use ShellMenuView to edit or disable any context menu item, and you can also jump to the registry entry for editing.
