Solved Remove Windows Defender context menu

[nikev216]

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.
