How to remove Recycle Bin context menu item: Scan using Spybot
Yes, I too would love to remove it from Recycle Bin.
(That is, the contextmenu stating: 'Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy'.)
I went to SpyBot Mode Advanced : both Tools and Settings, but there is no setting there for the installation options that were given only at install time.
Thus, the 'Settings' is not all, just a lot.
Do I have to uninstall and start over again?
Is there a registry key I can change?
Good product.
But the user interface and controls not exactly intuitive, even for an experienced computer guy...
Thank you.

partway to removing context item...
I just found this:

How do I remove Spybot from the right-click context menu?
This is looking very close to what I need -- but which one is for the Recycle Bin, and which one does the Windows Explorer folder/file menu item?
Or does Windows tie them both together, so you must either have both (Recycle Bin plus Explorer folders view) or neither?
Ideally, I would like to get rid of it from the Recycle Bin, but keep it in the Explorer menu.
But if both must go, that is what I shall do.
THANKS! Cheers!

Hello,

Please delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sdfiles

the details, part two
I just did a little test, by renaming the string for each.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sdfiles ---> this one applies to the Windows Explorer folder and file items.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\sdfiles ---> this one applies to the Windows Recycle Bin trash can.
HUH!? was someone at Microsoft not keeping up on their Jolt dosage when they coded this?? 'Folder' applies to trashcan, '*' applies to folders... guess I just don't know the 'Microsoft Way'...
Next step, for me to remove the "Folder" item.
THough I first export save the key just in case...
deleting HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\sdfiles and its subitem.
-- Ta Daa -- (horns flourish here) :2thumb:
Delete the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\sdfiles entry (it is one item with a sub-item). That instantly removes th Scan with Spybot from the Recycle Bin context menu.
Wish it wasn't quite so time consuming to figure all this stuff out...
Oh well,
Done now.
