Careful, though. There was one time when I deleted this and it messed up syncing to my SkyDrive. You can just add a string and name it 'Extended' so that it will only be seen when Shift+Right clicking.

This is a great idea!

Nice to see you all give careful attention to what you're installing onto your PC... The Skydrive Pro software is listed in the components to install with Office 2013 Pro Plus if you bother to look. Instead of using registry hacks to remove the option from the context menu, why don't you just remove it cleanly using the installer?

If you have a domain you can use group policy prefaces to delete this and all other context extensions from all computers on your network

Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry

major PITA doing this for every other useless extention otherwise

Or, if you're an IT administrator with a domain you can pay attention to what you're installing onto your machines, and customise the installer to not install SkyDrive Pro in the first place.

Yeah but most programs dont bother to give you an option at deployment (adobe)

No, but Office 2013 (what we're discussing here) does.

Oh, and on the subject of Adobe, there's the Adobe Customisation Wizard that'll update your Adobe installation sources to customise the install how you like.. turning updates off, preventing shortcuts, disabling online integration, etc.

On the Preview, even when you leave SkyDrive Pro unchecked upon installation, it's still there on the context menu. If they fix that on RTM, then it'll be easy to just uncheck it upon installation or to remove it by re-running the installer.
