Installing the graphics driver software for your video card (Intel, NVidia, etc.) adds the respective Control Panel entry in the Desktop right-click menu. If you don’t use the menu option, you can remove it from the registry to speed up right-click menu display on the desktop.<\/p>\n

Remove NVIDIA Control Panel from Desktop Right-click Menu<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Launch the Registry Editor (regedit.exe<\/code>)<\/li>\n
  2. Navigate to the following branch:\n
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Directory\\Background\\shellex\\ContextMenuHandlers\\NvCplDesktopContext<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  3. Right-click <\/span>NvCplDesktopContext<\/strong><\/code>, click Export, and save the branch to a .reg file<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Right-click <\/span>NvCplDesktopContext<\/strong><\/code> and choose Delete<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Exit the Registry Editor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    NVIDIA Control Panel is now removed from the context menu. Note that you can still access the NVIDIA software via the Control Panel, or by running the program manually.<\/p>\n
    Remove Intel Graphics Options from Desktop Right-click Menu<\/h2>\n
    If you’re using Intel graphics, the respective driver software adds the following registry keys:<\/p>\n
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Directory\\Background\\shellex\\ContextMenuHandlers\\igfxcui\r\nHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Directory\\Background\\shellex\\ContextMenuHandlers\\igfxDTCM<\/pre>\n
    Deleting those keys would remove the Intel “Graphics Options” and “Graphics Properties” from the desktop right-click menu.<\/p>\n
