Default Re: Removing items from "right click' submenu

Try removing from Folder Options, File Types dialog. If not, read below:

The context-menu entries for Directories is built from these locations in
the registry. The same applies for the Start button in the Taskbar

[HKCR\Folder\Shell]
[HKCR\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers]
[HKCR\Directory\Shell]
[HKCR\Directory\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers]
[HKCR\AllFilesystemObjects\shell]
[HKCR \ AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

Note:
- - - -
1. AllFilesystemObjects is not specific to Folders.
2. HKCR implies HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
