Even if you uninstall Adobe Drive CS4, a stupid menu entry remains in the Explorer context-sensitive menu. I have to say, Adobe products are frustrating as hell both to install or to remove. The company is going to kill itself with this nonsense.

Anyway, I finally found a way to remove this context sensitive entry, thanks to neowin:

Any of you who have installed Adobe CS4 will know you will get a context menu entry for Adobe CS4 Drive, even if you chose not to install the actual program so effectively the entry is useless. After some googling and experimenting found two ways to remove it.

Manual Remove

Open Regedit and delete these two entries.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\Con textMenuHandlers\{C95FFEAE-A32E-4122-A5C4-49B5BFB69795}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\Con textMenuHandlers\{C95FFEAE-A32E-4122-A5C4-49B5BFB69795}

Hope this helps some people.
