Removing VLC from right click menu

Postby gkl » 31 Oct 2005 20:43

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 :)

shell extension: lacking particular right-click option

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)?

ack!
