Locked Powershell startup command in context menu

Hi

I had thought it had resolved the problem of the 2 PowerShell scripts as I was able disable them in the context menu of startup. Unfortunately I'm not able to delete them, either in CCleaner or in the registry even though I set permissions to full control.
That said CCleaner shows them as disabled.

Have I missed something?

Hi

I had missed the section on applying full control to the command folder beneath the PowerShell one in regedit. Since I changed the permissions on the command folder as well I have now deleted the two scripts from the startup program list in the context menu.

Many thanks for your help.

Locked Powershell startup command in context menu

Since updating to Windows Anniversary Edition, there is an inaccessible Powershell command in my startup context menu.

There are two keys, one each for 'Directory' and 'Drive'.

On both the program is listed as "Open Powershell window here",

and the file command is: powershell.exe -noexit -command Set-Location '%V'



What is this, and why is it here.

I have tried to both disable, and to delete it. Both FAIL. Access is denied.



I have even gone to the registry location and attempted to put a (-) before the default value string.

This action should disable the item. I have also tried to delete the value string for the entire item.

With both of these maneuvers I am told that I cannot edit value string.



I have taken ownership of, and given all users full access to Powershell.exe, and tried all of these step again,

AND IT STILL WILL NOT DISABLE OR DELETE!!!



Has anyone else run into this?
