How to Remove nVidia, Intel and Other Display Entries from Desktop Context Menu?

Whenever we install Intel, nVidia or other graphics card drivers in Windows, some extra entries like Save Schemes, etc are added in Desktop Context menu (Menu which appears, when we right-click on desktop). It causes the context menu to take a little bit extra time in loading.

Here is a registry trick to remove those extra entries from Desktop context menu:

1. Goto Start -> Run and type regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

2. Delete the key igfxui (for Intel), NvCplDesktopContext (for nVidia) or other similar keys for your graphics card.

3. Now, your desktop context menu will look nice and minimal and will not take any extra time in loading.
