Windows 7: About to delete "DirectShow" from my registry..A few questions?

____________________________________________________

Is it necessary for my OS?

I was gonna proceed with deleting it because I had a hunch it was the reason my Explorer.exe keeps crashing every time I move the taskbar.

I thought I should check here first just in case I make matters worse
Should I go ahead in delete it?
I don't have any K-lites codecs but maybe this is a leftover from the uninstall?

Do not delete this, messing up with the registry can lead to problematic situations
Leave the registry as it is. Unused registry items won't affect your computer in any way
Run a scan of Malwarebytes

I've done that time and time again but it never solves anything for me
Judging from your reply I guess it's essential to my OS?

Here are some of the things I have done to try to rid the this annoying issue..

Ran Sfc / scannow

Clean boot

virus and malware scans

updated drivers..specifically my graphics card

I install almost every update

deleted left over files

ran safe mode but to no avail because it persist even in safe mode unfortunately.

ran Ccleaner

and done a Checkdisk.

Anything I'm forgetting ?

Did you try a Repair Install ?

Yes and to my surprise the problem still did not cease

Thanks I'll leave it alone for sure now

However with that being said I'm back two steps and completely lost
I might try

Uninstalling some programs and after try a repair install...again

Uninstall Conduit Toolbar ... It is adware
