Is there any way to remove the right click options that programs add to your
mouse?
 
Hi Robin,

Yes, by editing the registry. Look under these keys for the string that
refers to the unwanted entry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Please exercise caution. Export a copy of a key to the desktop before you
delete a string. If it causes issues, put it back by double-clicking the
exported copy. You can always delete the copies later.
