Context menu in Windows Explorer

How do I remove the context menu “Edit with Notepad++” in Windows Explorer ??

When Notepad++ is installed normally, it registers the NppShell.dll, which is what adds the normal “Edit with Notepad++” entry in the context menu. The User Manual’s Right Click - Edit with Notepad++ page has a section which explains how to manually unregister or register that DLL. So, to remove that context menu entry, you have to unregister the DLL. (Please note: you may need to be in an Admin command window to get it to unregister; and you may need to log out and back in for the unregister to take effect.)
If you manually created some other “Edit with Notepad++” entry, unregistering the DLL will do nothing, and you will have to reverse whatever manual steps you took to create the entry in the first place.
