What are you trying to do?

A lot of the actions associated with dropdowns come from system dlls. Are you writing your own dll with context functionality?

Start - Run - Regedit

Backup your registry.

Do a search for "Browse for"

Delete any keys that match what you want to delete.

Tada!

That won't work for all context shortcuts.

Many of these are coming from dlls that are registered. When the dll gets registered, the mouse click event causes the dll to get invoked and it's functionality to get called and a link inserted into the menu.

You're right, but it definately works for PSP & Winamp, as I've done it myself.
