Default Annoying link when right-click on Start Button

Hi,

I right-click on my Start Button frequently as a quick route to Explore.
However, there are a few annoying links that appear when I right-click and I
can't figure out how to get rid of them. One is to a program that was
uninstalled long ago. I searched the entire hard disk and could not find any
file that contained the text that shows up in the menu option.

Like I said, annoying!

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Remove unwanted entries from the context menus

Manage the context-menu entries for files, folders, drives and Namespace objects:
