    I'm assuming that you've uninstalled the program. If not, be very careful which strings you delete.

    Search the registry for id3-tagit and delete the individual string(s) where it is found. You might want to export them first, just in case... ;)

    I'm with you, I like to keep a tidy right-click menu. Programs which leave useless junk behind really irk me.

    thank you very much

    prof bails me out again

    why cant companies take all their crap with them after uninstallation of programs?!

    is it really that hard to to?

    Isn't there also a windows utility that can allow you to directly customise your rclicks. Does TweakUI do that?

    TweakUI lets you remove some of the right-click>>New Document Templates like Word, etc. I don't think there is a complete functionality to remove everything that manages to worm its way in there.

    I could be worng, though. :)sic

    could just do "control folders" @ run -> file types -> select one you want -> change

    that's if you want to clear it out...

    so could this be something that somebody could program then?

    something that allows complete control over context menu items but that does so in an easy to understand fashion?

    some ppl just dont know where to go for help and/or are uncomfortable with editing the registry

    p.s. i tried some little apps that i found online to try to remove this thing but the only things they found in my context menu are things that i wanna keep like 7-zip options (add to archive etc)
