Recycle Bin

Over a period of time I have acquired some programmes that seem to have
become attached to the Recycle Bin. If I right click the bin it offers:

"Browse with PaintShop Pro"
"Play with VLC Media Player"
"Add to VLC Media Player's Playlist"

These seem a bit pointless - how can I get ris of these links?

You can manage the right-click context menus with the free program
ShellExView.

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace
objects - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm

Thanks - I was hoping for a way of doing it that doesn't require an
additional program. (Incidentally it also affects a right click on "My
Computer".

ShellExView is free and doesn't need to be installed. It is much safer
and easier than mucking about in the Registry. However, if you *want*
to work only with the Registry, go to the site which I previously gave
you for keys information. Here is the link again for your convenience:
