How do I delete an option in the list when I right click
a folder. I have this "browse with easytagger" which came
out after i installed the easytagger software. But I have
uninstalled the software already but the option is still
there when I right click on a folder. I tried to check my
folder options in the control panel it's not listed there.
 
Wen,

Open Registry Editor [Regedit.exe] and goto:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ Directory\ shell
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ Folder\ shell

Check for the context entry you have stated. Find and delete it.

If you want to do it via UI, open Folder Options > File Types
See under File Folder, and Folders advanced options and delete the context menu entry. After you are done, you should run "regsvr32 /i shell32" command from the RUN box to avoid a cosmetic problem arising out of editing the Folder Options UI [noted by David Candy]
