Removing "Browse with Paint Shop Pro 8"

U

Uzi Barzilai

On the desk to, right "clicking" on any folder produce
a dialog box which includes : Browse with Paint Shop Pro 8

Granted, not a terrible thing yet and undesired one.

With my available utilities (ItweakU LE, MSconfig, TweakUI)
I did not see a way to eliminate this.

Any advise?

Uzi,

No. MSConfig or TweakUI can't remove the context-menu extensions.

Open Control Panel > Folder Options
Check the context entries under "File Folders" and "Folders"
Remove the corresponding PaintShopPro entries.

MVP David Candy noticed a bug in FileTypes dialog. The modification through Folder Options leads to the problem "Search companion opens when you double-click a folder". If you experience the same problem, type REGSVR32 /i SHELL32 in the RUN box.

If you wish to do it via registry, these are the keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FOLDER\SHELL
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FOLDER\SHELLEX
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIRECTORY\SHELL
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIRECTORY\SHELLEX

There is a Pcmag.com application called ContextEdit [not a freeware] which does the job perfectly.

Use a run of the registry editor - regedit.exe. Make sure you have a
restore point made first, just in case.

Open items in left pane, explorer style - at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
there will be a subkey at the next level to Browse with PaintShop,
highlight it and delete
