How to Remove “Compress" and “Burn” from the Contextual Menu

[Jingol]

Hi

I know How to Remove Services from the Contextual Menu

System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>Services
Uncheck the items you don't want

but I would like remove “Compress" and “Burn”, ... contextual menu

can I ?

Well there is /YourHardDrive/Users/YourUserName/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ and /YourHardDrive/Library/Contextual Menu Items/. Look into both of those locations to see if something you don't want is there, then robot.

"Go to folder” Command couldn’t find /YourHardDrive/Users/YourUserName/Library/Contextual Menu Items/

Assuming that's a real question

Change "yourharddrive" and "yourusername", which are placeholders, to whatever is on your own computer.

It doesn't matter as those commands are not separate contextual menu items and are not removable.

/Users/iHamed/Library/Contextual Menu Items/

/Users/iHamed/Library/Contextual Menu Items/

You can find those path at mavericks?

I don't think your username can be : iHamed (lower case ONLY)

The name you must use is the one of the home folder.

It might be : ihamed

To check the name of the home folder, look at : Macintosh HD/Users/home_folder_name
(name of the "little house").

That path doesn't exist by default. As I said in the earlier post, you can't remove "Compress" and "Burn" from the contextual menu; they're not separate files or configured by a preference. They may disappear if you enable Simple Finder in the Parental controls System Preference, but that severely limits the functionality of the computer in general.
