Drop down menu

[Richard]

Installed a program some tim ago, then uninstalled it, it
left some goodies behind. They reside in the drop down
menu, e.g. When I open My Computer, open Drive C, right
click on any folder, that's where I find menu items stll
there, question is, how can I clean up that menu, it's
also the drop down where, cut, copy, paste, etc. are.

Richard,

Open Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

-and-

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex

Spot the particular context menu entry and backup the key first. Then delete the entry.
