Removing context menu entries from the Windows 7 x64
I have installed Windows 7 x64 in my system recently and i want to know if it is possible to remove context menu entries?? I have checked about this and have got varying answers. Some said it's not possible where as some said its possible by doing some hack in registry. So if it is actually possible than i will like to know how? Thanks in advance.
Re: Removing context menu entries from the Windows 7 x64
Its not necessary to use a third party application for removing context menu entries, you can do that using registry editor as well. You just have to go to start, click on run, type "regedit" without quotes and click on OK. Once registry editor gets opened you will have to remove below registry keys and reboot your system.
Code:
[HKCR\Folder\Shell\]
[HKCR\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\]
[HKCR\Directory\Shell\]
[HKCR\Directory\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\] [HKCR\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\]
[HKCR \ AllFilesystemObjects \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers\]
Note - Just make sure that you are backing up your current registry before removing above registry keys to be at safer side.
