Remove ATI Catalyst Control Center from the Desktop Right-Click Menu

This doesn't work on my Windows 7 x64 (and not on my ista x64 system either). Search through the registry and remove all of the keys:

{C95FFEAE-A32E-4122-A5C4-49B5BFB69795}

I'm going to leave this here so I can google it later.



Remove ATI Catalyst Control Center from the Desktop Right-Click Menu

Have you ever wondered how to remove the "Catalyst(TM) Control Center" item from the desktop context menu? After writing yesterday about how to remove the NVIDIA Control Panel, a number of readers wrote in asking how to get rid of the ATI version.

We can look in the same place in the registry in order to quickly remove the item, or we can use the same utility we used yesterday to completely disable the shell extension.

In case you aren't sure what we're talking about, here's the menu item we're looking to remove:

image

Remove the Registry Hack Way

Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then browse down to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ACE

image

Double-click on the (Default) value in the right-hand side, and then add some dashes in front of the value to disable it. You should be able to right-click on the desktop and see that the item is removed.

If you would prefer, you can simply get rid of this key, but I would do right-click / export the key out to a file for backup purposes before deleting it.

Completely Disable the Shell Extension

If you don't want that shell extension loading at all, you can use the awesome Nirsoft ShellExView application to just completely disable the extension and prevent it from running.

Note: make sure to launch ShellExView by right-clicking and choosing Run as Administrator if you are using Vista.

Find the "SimpleShlExt Class" item with the description "ACE Context Menu" in the list, and click the Disable button.

image

If you aren't sure it's the right one, double-click on it to see the details, and verify that it's similar to this one (although your version could be different)

image

At this point, you should have a nice clean desktop context menu:

Does this menu item annoy you as much as it does me?

Remove NVIDIA Control Panel from Desktop Right-Click Menu

Have you ever wondered how to remove the "NVIDIA Control Panel" item from the desktop context menu? If so, you probably didn't realize that it's trivially easy to remove.

For those of you in the dark about what we're talking about, here's the menu item we're looking to remove:

image

I rarely need to use the NVIDIA Control Panel, and it's accessible via the control panel's Additional Options section if I really needed to get to it.

Remove the Easy Way

Just open up the NVIDIA Control Panel, and uncheck View \ Add Desktop Context Menu

image

This will immediately remove the item from the context menu:

image

The only problem with this is that the shell menu item doesn't actually get removed, just disabled.

Remove With a Registry Hack

If you want to make remove the menu item from the registry, you can open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then browse down to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\

image

Find the NvCplDesktopContext key on the left-hand side, and then make sure to Export the current key out to a file for backup purposes. Once you've done that, delete that key.

Completely Disable the Shell Extension

If you don't want that shell extension loading at all, you can use the awesome Nirsoft ShellExView application to just completely disable the extension and prevent it from running.

Note: make sure to launch ShellExView by right-clicking and choosing Run as Administrator if you are using Vista.

Find "DesktopContextClass" with the description "NVIDIA Display Properties Extension", and click the Disable button.

image

If you aren't sure it's the right one, double-click on it to see the details, and verify that it's similar to this one (although your version could be different)

image

As soon as you use the Disable button, the menu item will be gone.

EAD expired,company says no problem-Please advice

Unhappy EAD expired,company says no problem-Please advice

Hi friends,

My EAD is expired on 19 Sep.I recently joined a new project(@client place).My company(consulting company) says no problem to continue the project as I applied for EAD reniewal more than 90 days back and still waiting for the approval.

My options here:

1.Continue the project and get paid - But I am scared to continue the project and get paid asthis may Jeopardize my GC process if it is really illegal to work even though my EAD is expired.
2.Leave the project and wait for EAD approval(Donno how long it'll take for the approval).Once EAD gets approved look for new project. - In this worst economy it may be risk to leave the project , that too when we are heading towards last quarter.

FYI:I expedited the case,contacted CIS office couple of times through Infopass

I was just wondering about my employer's 90 days logic(In general my company follows the immigration law very strictly and hoping that they won't misguide me).

Friends please share your Ideas/advices , I donno what to do on next monday(Sep 22nd)(continue or discontinue)

Thanks In Advance

This topic has been heavily debated on the forum. U cannot work without a valid EAD on hand. Employer may say whatever he want, ultimately it is U'r legal status which will be in jeopardy.

Since U have legitimate reason please schedule an infopass and request them to expedite the process. Few of the folks who did that have received the EAD within couple of weeks. Until U get the EAD in hand U shouldn't work.
