Remove from right click menu

How do I remove a program (browse with avi codec) from the right click menu?

Thanks,

Sasha

Look for the entry in these locations, and remove them:

Double-click "My Computer", click the View menu Folder Options File Types tab.
Scroll down the alphabetical list and select "Drive", then click the Edit button.
If "Browse with avi codec" is listed in the box of 'Actions', select it and click
the Remove button.
Then scroll to the "File Folder" entry and do the same thing.
Click OK/Close all the way out.

If the Remove button remains greyed out when you select "Browse with avi codec", you
will have to search the Registry for the sub-keys, and remove them.

They are most likely at:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Browse with avi codec
and/or
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Browse with avi codec

Thanks....but it doesn't seem to be in any of those registry files or in
"Drive" in folder options /view file types.
When I do click on the "browse with avi" it only opens up 'windows cannot
find file' and a 'locate' option. There is an avi codec on the hard drive
but we don't need it as an option here. Seems like a ghost shortcut. Anyway
to de-ghost it?

What is selected when you get that option in the context menu? A =
particular file type? Folders? Look in Folder optionsfile types for =
the things that give you the context option you want to remove.

Or, go get ContextEdit

If it is only on a particular file type, you need to check that entry instead.

Hi....

In file types under folder options it is listed as an .AVI extension.

In the registry under HKEY classes root / context menu: I have a very long
number beginning with: (*67C....................)
Also a WINZIP Folder with another long number.

Sasha, Sorry for the delay getting back to you.
Could you tell me exactly where in the Registry you are looking? I am not sure what
you mean by
HKEY classes root / context menu

What program do you have .avi files associated with? IOW, when you double-click an
..avi file, what program opens to play it?

In Folder options File types, is it just listed as AVI file? Or is it listed as it
is on my computer, as:
"Video Clip", extension: AVI, Opens with: WMPlayer

Please give a little more specific info, if you can. In File Types, when you click
Edit, does it show the 'Browse' item in the Actions box?

Okay....last question first.

In file types / edit there appears: [Play], [Open].... and then: [AVI
codec: detailed information]. I'm wondering if deleting "AVI codec:
detailed information" would cause any problems....or solve the issue?

In registry, I'm in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\context menu handler
and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\Shell\Shellex\context menu handler
-no sign of anything resembling avi

I have several video files (AVI) that play with the DIVX Player.

Thanks for helping out,

Sasha

What is the file type you are looking at in Folder Options File Types....is it "AVI
file" or "Video clip" or something else? What is the default player for .avi files
on your computer? Do they open with the DivX Player when you double-click the .avi
file in Windows Explorer?

I do not use DivX. There should be an entry in one of the listings in File Types
that shows the same wording as what you see on the context menu....'browse with AVI
codec". It will be listed under the file type that shows that menu, not Drive or
File Folder....unless the menu item actually appears when you right-click a drive or
folder.

Does the context menu item have an underlined letter?

Okay.......I found 'browse with AVI Codec' under the file type 'folder' but
it does not give me the option to remove it!
Yes, DIVX is the default player for the AVI files and they do open when
double-clicking on the file.
Does the context menu item have an underlined letter?........... No.

Thanks again,

Sasha
