Windows media player commands on Explorer menus

[Tim S.]

Hi all

I accidently launched WMP and now I have a bunch of WMP-oriented actions
on my Explorer context menus when I right-click music files and folders.
I like to keep my menus clean so I've looked in WMP's options to turn
this shell tampering off but I can't find the relevant setting. Is there
a way to get rid of these items?

TIA

Type "regsvr32 /u wmpshell" in Start/Run.

Manage the context-menu entries for files, folders, drives and Namespace
