Remove "Backup-Icon" from context menu Win 7 Prof 64 bit

Thread needs solution

Hello,

at first "excuse me" because my english is very bad - I hope you understand what I mean:

I use Acronis True Image Home 2010 Build 5055 under Win 7 Prof. 64 bit. I want to remove the "backup-button" from the context menü (right klick on a folder).

This solution did not work under Win 7 Prof.:

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{C539A15A-3AF9-4c92-B771-50CB78F5C751}
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{C539A15B-3AF9-4c92-B771-50CB78F5C751}
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{C539A15C-3AF9-4c92-B771-50CB78F5C751}
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C539A15A-3AF9-4c92-B771-50CB78F5C751}
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\tibfile

I have found the first three registry keys but not the last two.

What can I do to remove the icon under Win 7 Prof. 64 bit?

Greetings

Vitos

Since I just did this yesterday, you need to delete the following keys:

1.   HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Classes\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C539A15A-3AF9-4C92-B771-50CB78F5C751}

2.   HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Classes\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C539A15A-3AF9-4C92-B771-50CB78F5C751}

3.   HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Classes\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C539A15A-3AF9-4C92-B771-50CB78F5C751}

Item 1. removes the "Backup" context menu item from individual file icons.
Item 2. removes the "Backup" context menu item from folder icons.
Item 3. removes the "Backup" context menu item from disk drives icons.

I decided to keep item 3. because I like having the "Mount" and "Unmount" right-click context menus when right-clicking on a disk drive icon. The other two I don't like, so they got deleted.
