Random Other Context Menu Issues

My Experience:
I'm trying to clean up my right click menu in Windows Explorer (aka the context menu), and these are a few other ones that I wanted to remove that have options within the programs they originate from.


The Cause:
Pesky settings within programs.


The Fix:
WinRAR

1. Open WinRAR
2. Go to Options > Settings
3. Go to the last tab Integration
4. In the small box called Shell Integration there are options whether to include it at all, or make more specific settings by clicking "Context Menu Items..."

Microsoft Expression Media

1. Type "regedit" in the start menu and press enter.
2. Navigate to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\" and delete SimpleShlExt
3. Navigate to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\" and delete SimpleShlExt

If you're looking for a solution to removing something from the context menu, first check all of the options within the program that it is coming from. If you can find nothing, look at my other post about Groove and try to look for it in one of the registry folders mentioned.


My Results:
No more annoying WinRAR buttons!
