how do I remove a rightclick menu item?

[Tim.T]

I was using a trialware program called Disk Check, and found after I had
uninstalled it, it had left 4options in the rightclick context menu:

"Check drive with file method"
"Check C: with direct method"
"Read disk C:image"
"Write C: image"

Any idea where exactly in the Registry these items are listed? I've tried
removing manually all registry keys relating to Disk Check that were left
behind, but these items are part of the Windows shell, right?Which keys are
those?

Search the Registry for the exact strings you are seeing in the context
menu. You'll find the location easily.
