[help removing right click context menu options on recycle bin left over from another cleaner program called window washer]

7½ years later… you never know who, down the line, your post might help .

 

So in my case I had "Open Temp File Cleaner…" in the Recycle Bin's right-click context menu, and it's been there since I uninstalled that program about 2 years ago (although I never looked into it until today). User "Humpty" provided the essential :  the registry key to zero in on :

 

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder

 

 

"Shell Folder" is in red because in my case I had to look around under there a bit ; specifically, I had to go back one level, to just before "ShellFoldler", and proceed down a slightly different branch :

 

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Open Temp File Cleaner...

 

 

There were no values or data in the "Open Temp File Cleaner…" key itself, but there was a subkey "command" under it :

 

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Open Temp File Cleaner...\command

 

 

… and under "command" was that app's default execution path under %programfiles%. But all I did was kill the whole "Open Temp File Cleaner…" key and voilà, no more problem .

 

So thx for writing that 7½ years ago .
