    Remove Windows Defender context menu


    Windows Defender is disabled, how do I remove "scan with windows defender'' from the context menu. I'm using Win 7.


    (I tried running this command but it failed)
    regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\shellext.dll"


    thanks in advance.
