Windows – Remove “SkyDrive Pro” 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.

1. Download Chromium

2. Search the whole code base for spect element.

3. Check out the references to this string, make sure they don't add it to a menu.

4. Compile your version of Chromium, this will make a version without that menu entry.

Or, if you don't want to go through this for a small change; you'll grow out of the habit over time instead.

Personally, I learned to use that instead as Firebug Lite is quite lacking and I won't go to bloated Firefox.

_{Lacking as in "access restrictions", bloated as in "Extensive testing shows that Firefox is noticeably slower, both on a clean profile.".}
