    Default ATI Catalyst context menu thingie

    The latest Catalyst drivers adds a shortcut to its control panel in all those context menus that aren't spesific for items. For example the desktop and in explorer windows. I don't really like it, and I'd like it to go away. I can't seem to find an option for it in the control panel, so help is requested~

    Generally, control panel icons can be removed by editing your computer registry:

    Run "regedit" and browse to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Explorer \ControlPanel \NameSpace

    There should be a registry key for each control panel item, and you can click on them to see what service they correspond to. Be careful what you delete.

    Thanks, I'll look into it later and see what I find.
    -edit-
    I looked there, but I think maybe you misunderstood my problem a little (or I misunderstood your answer :p). I'm not trying to remove a control panel item. I'm trying to remove an item from the right-click menus that appear when I right-click the desktop and the backgrounds when inside folders using Windows Explorer.

    I added a screenshot to better show what I want to get rid of :].
