Most NVIDIA drivers will install an entry called “NVIDIA Display” in your context menu. When people right-click on their desktop they see this useless menu setting. Here’s how to remove it.

NVIDIA, stay out of my @#$%$T^*$ context menu!

It kills me when companies decide their products are ssooooo important that I should see their software everytime I right-click. Yuck.

Here’s how to remove NVIDIA from your context menu:

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type regedit in the textbox
4. Click OK
5. In the registry editor, go to the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\NvCplDesktopContext

6. Right click on NvCplDesktopContext and select delete
7. Exit regedit

That’s it! When you right-click, you will no longer see NVIDIA! Whooop!
