How to remove Windows Media Player items from the context menu

I hate when programs add stuff to the context menu (right-click menu) that I don't want to be there.

I always spend more time figuring out how to remove the context menu items than I do using the program (an exaggeration, but not much of one).

The Windows Media Player context menu items can include the following:

"Add to Now Playing List"
"Add to Playlist..."
"Add to Sync List"
"Add to Burn List"
"Add to I'm sure there are others"

This is how you remove that stuff for good:

1. Click on the Start Menu
2. Click Run (or use the search area)
3. Type in regsvr32 /u wmpshell.dll
4. Click Enter

Step 1-4:



The aftermath:

*Notice* - it should be noted that doing the following will also cause your files to not open immediately when you double-click them. You'll be taken to the default program screen. And that's a whole new pain in the behind. The "play all" option on Vista folders won't work either.

So if you later want to restore, follow the same instructions but enter regsvr32 wmpshell.dll instead.
