How To Remove "load" From Windows Explorer Context Menus?

[johnboenzi]

Since installing EMC8 the top item on all context menus in Windows Explorer is "Load". Is there any way to remove Load and restore the context menu to the default? Thanks.

The only additional context menu item I've noticed in Windows Explorer since installing EMC8 is for .iso files, 'Burn with disk copier'

 

Generally, context menu items are subkeys in the registry at places such as

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell, or Shellex

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell

 

You could search HKCR for the text displayed in the context menu (if the text includes an underlined letter as keyboard shortcut, include & in the search string before the underlined letter). If you find it, export the key to a .reg file as backup, then delete it in regedit, see if it removes the context menu item you don't want. In case of error, double click on the saved backup to merge the key back into the registry.
