Removing popup menu commands

[Peter Aitken]

Some apps insert commands on context menus. For example Paint SHop Pro
inserted a "Browse with Paint Shop Pro" command on the menu that appears
when you right-click a folder in Explorer. I want to get rid of some of
these commands. How do I go about it?

The easiest way is to use the free ShellExView program. Get it here:

Hi Peter,

You should be able to remove the entry using Folder Options (File types
tab). If not, you may need to edit the registry. Visit these links for more
information.
