Suggest you back up the registry before doing this (standard practice for registry edits):

Run regedit, navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\Library Location

And delete the folder "library Location".

Thanks, that did the trick.

Any idea how to get rid of "folders" in 8.1 that appear in my computers root menu?

Those are the ones, yes. I found the solution to this elsewhere:

You can delete Windows Registry entries in: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace]
