I think this might be confusing, because the Settings are supposed to display all possible commands. Why would you want to remove them from the list? You can just uncheck them.

I don't like to have unnecessary stuff in my context menu. So I like to get rid of the main menu and all sub menus of pathcopycopy. I only want the "full UNC path copy" option.

Best option for me would be to remove the main menu from context menu and make it available in windows start menu.

That's the purpose of the checkboxes next to each command in the Settings. You can deselect any command you don't want to display in either the main menu or the submenu. Any command you deselect won't show up in the contextual menu (barring bug #170 unfortunately).

Also note that you can disable the submenu altogether by deselecting the "Always show submenu" option (see below). When you do this, the submenu will only be displayed if you hold down the Shift key when opening the contextual menu.

If you added something to the Windows Start menu, how would you be able to apply it to a specific file or folder?
