In my crusade to rid my right click context menu within Windows Explorer of all extra options, I want to get rid of the even more annoying option that reads "Groove Folder Synchronization" and has an annoying little green blurb next to it.
The Cause:
The program causes the registry to be edited.
The Fix:
This fix requires editing the registry and should be done with caution.
- Type "regedit" in the start menu search box and hit enter.
- Navigate to the following directories and delete "XXX Groove GFS Context Menu Handler XXX"
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
My Results:
Haven't seen the thing since and no adverse effects.
