Solved Removing programs from Mouse-Right-click

[LeisureSuitLarry]

Hi,


how can I delete entries on Mouse-Right-Klick. Some of them are left from uninstalled software.


Regards,


Manfred

Hello Manfred,

Do you mean from the "Open with" context menu?

Hello Brink,
yes, I did.
But this software shows not all entries.

In that case, you could use the method at the link below to manually remove the Open with item.

I'll try it tomorrow.


Thanks

Next time try using Revouninstaller to uninstall a program. It will remove all of its registry and file entries on your computer.

Trying Revouninstaller, CCleaner ... did not work


Some programs are uninstalled but leave services or Files.


I tried modifiing the registry - very exhausting.


I used services to deactivate services from ununstalled but allready not deleted programms - restarted my PC and deleted there folder...


The edited programms disapeard

Some other open with contect Menu links stay.

Which "Open with" items remain that you would like to remove?

 

[LeisureSuitLarry]

From programms that ask if I want an entry at "open with" on Installation.
I can't withdraw this on most of them

 

[Brink]

Do those programs have a setting to remove their "Open with" entry?

 

[LeisureSuitLarry]

Some have, some not

In that case, use the Find and Find Next feature in Registry Editor to search for the OpenWithList key starting from the top with "Computer" selected in the left pane of Registry Editor.

In each OpenWithList key found, look in its right pane to see if the program is listed. If it is, delete it the same as the tutorial below.

Revouninstaller won't work if the program is already uninstalled. You need to use it while the program was installed and it should remove all traces of registry entries.

Some Programms make new foders for Upgrades and leave tho old one.
Sometimes stay remains like "open with" or Services.
I took from Services the Path of a Service searched them in Regedit and deleted them.
After a PC-Restart I deleted the corresponding folder.
The "Open with" Items where deleted earlier in Registry.
It#s not fine but better
