i tried to un-install a program and it didnt completely do it and it left a dll which is the shell extension (so when u right click its in the list of poss actions). How do i delete this dll and therefore get it out of the list?? obviously as it is always in the list, it is always being used!
via DOS. Open is safe mode (DOS is ur choice) and delete the file.
grrr was worried u were going to say that. no other way?
You could try deleting the entries in the context menu first via the registry, then delete the .dll file.
context menu entries are usually found in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > * > shellex > ContextMenuHandlers
im not sure if this will work, but its worth a try if you dont wanna do it via dos.
im sure u know the the 'dangers' with editing the registry. good luck
Click Start and Run then type:
regsvr32 -u <the full path and filename of the dll>
...and hit return.
Now you should be able to delete the file.
