Removing item in Context Menu

[Cwazee Yeti]

Hi Windows Experts!

I have a desktop from Dell which came with a pre-installed version of
JASC Paint Shop Pro (trial version only). I uninsatlled it when it no
longer worked to clean up my PC. But when I <right-click> on a folder
(I'm running WinXP Home SP2), to bring up the Context Menu, one of the
options is "Browse with Paint Shop Pro 8".

Why is this still listed even after I did the uninstall? How do I get
rid of that item from the menu???

Thanks for your help!

Hello Ramesh,

I went to the site you specified and followed the instructions listed
on that page. It seems that the Paint Shop Pro reference was only
listed in the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell\] and not the others. I
deleted the key for PSP and it was gone from the context menu! Great!

Thanks for your assistance!
