How to Remove ‘Add to Windows Media Player List’ From Context Menu

I've written a lengthy explanation of how to clean up a messy context menu, using either the registry editor:

If you want to clean things up the truly geeky way, you can open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then browse down to one of the following keys…

Most of the menu items that used for all files and folders can be found by looking at one of these keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\ShellEx

Items that are specific to folders can usually be found in one of these keys instead:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Or use some freeware NirSoft tools like ShellMenuView or ShellExView.

In Windows 7 by default this option is available in the right click menu only for optimized folder for music:

You have to change the Folder Option - set it to Music (right click on the folder and select Properties and then Customize tab)

Now, when you right click on that folder you will see the option to add it to Windows Media Player.
