When I right click on a folder in Explorer, some of the options installed by
Winamp are inappropriate. I would like to delete them. When I follow this
path:
Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types tab > Select File Folder
> Advanced - The option to remove these options is greyed out. Is there a way
to get the Remove option activated?
Thanks
 
I use an old version of Winamp (2.81) and you can turn off the directory
context menus in the preferences. Not sure about newer versions.

Either remove the options from Winamp or try this:

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace
objects

Thanks to both. The Winamp preference change worked. I'll keep the Ramesch
instructions for future reference.
