📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses removing certain features from Windows context menus. The original poster asks how to completely remove a specific feature, and a responder suggests editing the registry to delete a particular key, which successfully resolves the issue. The conversation then shifts to the poster seeking advice on removing default folder entries like "Documents" and "Music" from the Windows 8.1 navigation pane, with a hint that a registry-based solution exists for that as well.

Run regedit, navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\Library Location
And delete the folder "library Location".
