Hey people,
When installing VLC, I made a mistake and allowed it to add some VLC entries (like, play using vlc) in the right click context menu. Now my question is, how can I remove them without reinstalling VLC?

It will be a lot easier to uninstall and reinstall without the link.

For each and every video extension, delete the keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\(extension)\shell\PlayWithVLC
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\(extension)\shell\AddToPlaylistVLC

Make sure you don't miss any extensions.

Thanks man, but, yeh, ended up with just reinstalling. Much less hassle than fiddling with registry

i am missing context entries that i found in WinAMP and WMP but since i'm desperate in using VLC and since all of my blunt registry fiddling failed i beg for your help:

how can i add the "Open with VLC" or "Queue with VLC" option when right-clicking on entire folders (containing media files)?

doh! i meant to create a separate thread =(

please ignore this post! i will create a separate thread right away - very sorry for the inconvenience =(
