    How to remove "ReDeskIconPos" from Desktop context menu please?


    Once again I'm asking for your kind techy help folks.

    I have been trying to find a small program to restore the desktop icons to their positions after I have changed the screen resolution. Eventually I found Desktop Restore which does the job perfectly.
    But, before that I had a failed attempt with another program whose name I can't recall (sorry ) which I uninstalled but am left with ReDeskIconPos in the right-click desktop context menu.

    There are many fine tutorials on how to add or remove specific items but I do not know how to 'translate' them into helping with my issue.

    Could some kind person guide me please?

    Followed the instructions there but cannot see any reference to removing something from the right-click desktop menu?

    Hi MadMudMob, There are 2 more places you can look in the registry, but I would not touch anything if you

    do find that entry without backing up the registry first.

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Directory,Background,Shell

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Directory,Background,Shellex, Context Menu Handlers

    YES! Thankyou, ethel - I found it thanks to your first suggestion.
    What do I do now to get rid of it please? Delete it? Delete Command and then it or something else?

    I did try to bring a screenshot here but Photobucket blocked me and said I need to pay $399.99 to be able to embed my photos on another site.
