I found a persistent and undesirable addition to my context menu that I was unable to disable with CCleaner as is my usual practice because CCleaner apparently could not see it. The entry showed up in the context menu for compressed files as "Extract with express zip." This probably entered the registry with a NCH software install. I did do a search for this subject but NCH is only three letters and this forum does not accept search terms less than four letters in length.
I was able to edit the registry and remove these entries, but I am wondering how they were able to evade CCleaner's eagle eye and therefore I am attaching a sample of one of the registry entries to help you with your development. This was for .rar files but I had to delete the entry from every conceivable compressed format possible. I used 'find' of course...
Yes, they do have a lot of buttons in their applications that you might accidentally press and launch an on-demand installer... only fair if it's freeware. But the clogging up of the context menu is the outside of enough, I feel.
Oh well, better the enemy that you know, what? They do have a nice chromatic tuner application and now that I've gone to so much hassle over it I guess I might as well keep it.
So do you think that the development team can include these context menu entries for disabling in a future ccleaner or has NCH found the perfect loophole?
You might however have a valid BUG to report if your unwanted NCH context menu action is active BUT CCleaner fails to show it under
Tools / Startup / "Context Menu".
Was that the case ?
exactly. That's why I attached the key. I don't expect CC to deal with the software, just the registry key that adds a line to the context menu, resulting in menu bloat.
