Symptom

When you open Control Panel - Folder Options - File Types tab, select the File Folder entry, and click the Advanced button, the Edit and Remove buttons may be grayed out. As a result, you may be unable to remove the additional right-click command entries for file system folders.

Resolution

To remove the additional entries, you may need to edit the registry. Follow these steps:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \ shell
