Solved: How to remove items from right click popup
I have uninstalled two programs that showed up when I right clicked on the folders in the windows explorer list of folders and files. The programs are gone but their names still remain when I right click.

Is there some way that I can remove them.

Thanks


Solved: I had a thought after posting this and found registry entries that were causing the problem. Removed them and all is well.

I used Registrar Lite but any registry editor would work.

I searched the registry for names of programs that should have been removed from that list since they had been uninstalled.

It showed all registry entries containing those names and since the programs had been uninstalled and were not used by anything else, I deleted the entries.

If you have not edited your registry before, you should go slow or maybe not even try this.
