I saw this somewhere but I cant remember where. I installed dr divx and its total crap but it still comes up when I right click on movies and other files. How do I delete it from the list? Here is a pic of what I mean.

I neve new you could. I always thought it was there until you uninstalled it then it went away. Im all ears as well i would like to know.

Why don't you like Dr. Divx if I may ask?
I have encoded almost 100 of my DVDs and I think it works great.

Have you tried doing a search for that text in the registry......do some digging and Im sure you will find a key in the registry with that value.

I would suggest the same as aaron, or try an app like RegCleaner perhaps.

I've had Dr.DivX installed/uninstalled a few times without it ever leaving any orphan entries though.

On a sidenote like corrupt asked, what did you not like about the program?
I've used it (aided by SmartRipper) to make some excellent backups myself.

I used it and it made a horrible copy of my dvd. All distorted and horrible qaulity and it just skipped back and fourth. I have used regseeker to search for it but no go. I know there is a way to do this but I just forgot how. If someone has any info please let me know.

i am sure that all of you ment backing up, by saying "copying"...because i am sure you know that we do NOT talk about that kind of stuff around here.

Why are people so anal. Nothing wrong was said. Backed up, copied same thing. They were our dvds so who cares. Anyways anyone know how to get rid of this?

I believe if you read closely, every post about copying included the words "my dvd's", and I myself did say "backups".

Aaronrkelly is right, just search the text in the registry. All of Windows contextual menu idems are stored in the registry. Unless of course a link is made to a folder, never seen it though.

install tweak ui
then you can customize whatever you want
to be ynder that menu using the new tab

Unfortunately, what he needs to remove isn't in the "New" submenu so tweakui won't help.... through it is a great tool.

Another way to remove it would be the following:
1) open a folder, any folder will do
2) click on "tools" in the menu and select "folder options..."
3) select the "file types" tab.

Now do the following for each multimedia file type:
4) select a multimedia file type from the list, such as MPG
5) click on the "Advanced" button below
6) in the new window are MPG specific context menu items. delete as needed!

This won't always work though. This method only shows entries from a couple of the possible places in the registry where a context menu may be specified. If this doesn't do the trick, I think you're stuck with regedit. Good Luck!

Here ya go me2:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shel lex\ContextMenuHandles
