Removing entries on right click menu

[Don Wiss]

I installed a program that put itself four times on my right click menu.
And some entries are very long. This is creating a very large right click
menu box. They were also added to the File menu. How do I remove these?

Thanks, Don <donwiss at panix.com>.

Hi Don,

But, the troubleshooting depends on where you right-click (on a shortcut, a folder, drive?). And, mention clearly if the context entries are duplicated?

On any file in Explorer. No, they are not duplicated. The software authors
found ways to vary it, so to make it appear four times.

Those entries might be present here:

HKCR\*

or

HKCR\AllFilesystemObjects
