Windows 10: Remove AMD Catalyst from Windows desktop right-click menu

If you have ever installed an AMD graphics card and then install the AMD Radeon Software you may see a new context menu option added by AMD drivers. I hated to see a new context menu option added by AMD drivers as it looks just plain ugly with its red icon and its too-wide appearance, but it is easy to remove it and I will show you how. In case you dont know what Im talking about Step 1: Open the Registry editor by searching for registry editor in the search box or by pressing Windows key + R and type regedit and press enter. Step 2: Navigate to KEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ACE Step 3: Right click on the key ACE.and select delete and that's it! Alternatively, you can download these registry files run them to disable or enable back the ATI option.

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

If you want to remove AMD Radeon from the context menu by following the instructions found here. I have done it and it works, but when you update the Radeon software it will reappear on the context menu so you will have the instuctionsagain to remove it.
