How do I right-align the 'help' menu item in CMFCMenuBar - visual-studio-2010

Using Visual Studio 2010 and creating standard MFC project with custom styles I have main menu items all aligned to left:
+-------------------------------------------+
| File Edit Help |
+-------------------------------------------+
| |
What do I need to do if I want the Help menu item on the right-hand side:
+-------------------------------------------+
| File Edit Help |
+-------------------------------------------+
| |
I've tried different options in resource editor/properties for menu item, but haven't found anything that helped me to get the desired effect.
My current visual theme is Office 2007 - black, if it's relevant, but changing it I don't see it have any effect either.

When you are talking about the new CMFCMenuBar than this feature is no longer available.
Also this style is no longer used in Microsoft products for years. Even in Windows XP the help menu was no longer right adjusted.
Internally I can still see a property named CMFCToolBarMenuButton::m_bShowAtRightSide but I don't see any location were it can be set.
Internally I checked the code that creates the CMFCMenuBar from the menu resource (CreateFromMenu). Also there is no code that checks for the MFT_RIGHTJUSTIFY.

Colorized tabs in JetBrains Rider plugin?

In Visual Studio you can have per-project colorized tabs with the Productivity Power Tools. It basically paints the tabs of the same project in the same color. Which makes the navigation a bit easier. It also looks like VS now supports it out of the box.
Is there a JetBrains (Rider) plugin that does the same?
I don't know if there is something that does it automatically, but you can do it "manually": https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Configuring_Scopes_and_File_Colors.html
Define your scopes in File | Settings... | Appearance & Behavior | Scopes
In File | Settings... | Appearance & Behavior | File Colors you can colorize the tabs by scope.
I had to save the settings multiple time to see the UI refresh.

Searching font and color item for displaying Debug values in editor

I want to edit the background and foreground color from this items, that show the current variable value:
I already searched at Options > Fonts and Colors > Text Editor all the available items but couldn't find it.
Can someone tell me which item is responsbile for that appearance?
I am using a custom theme from the VS marketplace + ReSharper.
This feature comes from ReSharper. So, please look for the ReSharper Debugger Datatips item in Options | Fonts and Colors | Text Editor and check the background color. Then restart Visual Studio.

Menu Items added to Visual Studio are disabled

I was following the instructions at https://tortoisesvn.net/visualstudio.html to integrate some common SVN commands to my visual studio IDE. Here are the steps I followed
Selected Tools | External Tools and added commands for SVN Log, Blame and Diff.
These commands show up in the Tools Menu and are working as expected
Next, selected Tools | Customize | Commands | Context Menu. Under the Context Menu drop down, chose the Editor Context Menus | Code Window
Using Add Command, added the 3 commands. These options now show up in the code window context menu but are disabled.
I am not sure what additional steps need to be performed to get these menu items to show up enabled. I had this working till recently but lost it when I reset my settings. Appreciate any help in this regard

Do you know how to hide this … I like my editor clean!

Hide items in the right-click context menus in Visual Studio 2010 (08)?

The right-click context menus of the source editor, the project items and the solution item, is getting ridiculously long, and two of them even have scrolling now on my 1680x1050 screen.
Is there any way for me to hide items on these menus, even if I have to add an event to my Visual Studio macro-system and find and hide them manually?
Here's examples, many of these items I never use:
Edit1: The current answer + comments suggest I should use the Customize menu item in the toolbar context menus, go to the second tab, Commands, and use the Context Menus radio selection and find the relevant menus there.
Here are 3, which are suggested by comments:
As you can see, they're all empty.
Edit2: After clicking the "Reset All" button in that dialog, for the Solution and Project menus, I got items in the dialog, that I could edit, but the changes did not affect the actual context menu on either a project or the solution file. Also, after restarting Visual Studio, the dialog contents for those two were again empty.
In Visual Studio 2010 you can:
Goto Tools->Customize
Select the Commands tab
Select the Context menu radio button
Select the appropriate context menu from the dropdown list to the right, and delete away
I believe Visual Studio 2008 is similar.
You will need to choose the correct context menu in the Customise option.
Go to Tool > Customise,
Then choose the Context menu as you did in your Edit1 screenshots but choose "Editor Context Menus | Code Window" from the dropdown menu instead.
From there you should be able to delete whatever command you don't need from your context menu. Next, for the other commands that can't be found in Editor Context Menus | Code Window (mostly plug-ins or extensions related commands) you will have to go through other categories.
For example, I am using CodeMaid and when I right click a file in Solution Explorer the context menu below are shown
In order to remove the 'Cleanup Selected Code' command I will have to choose the Project and Solution Context Menus | Solution Folder dropdown option.
Added: Here is my sample reduced context menu (removed Copy, Cut, Paste, Outline Menu and Create Snippet...)
Hope this helps =)
Edit: In case you want to add back the commands you removed you can either add them back using New Command... or just press Reset All. Keep in mind the later will restore all the commands. Thus unless you are really having trouble finding the removed command use the first method.
I use 3 VS extensions and these 3 are responsible for polluting the context menu:
VSCommands
Power Commands
Power Toys
Using their own options dialogue, it's possible to subject showing those menus to pressing CTRL (in VS Commands) or completely disable them (the other 2 extensions)
