Remove Adobe CS4 Drive Context Menu Entry


Recommended Posts

Any of you who have installed Adobe CS4 will know you will get a context menu entry for Adobe CS4 Drive, even if you chose not to install the actual program so effectively the entry is useless. After some googling and experimenting found two ways to remove it.

1. Install & Uninstall

Install Adobe CS4 Drive using the installer then uninstall it. This seems to get rid of it.

2. Manual Remove

Open Regedit and delete these two entries.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C95FFEAE-A32E-4122-A5C4-49B5BFB69795}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C95FFEAE-A32E-4122-A5C4-49B5BFB69795}

Hope this helps some people.

This is an even easier method to get rid of the Drive menu and not have the DLL loaded:

START -> Run...

regsvr32 /u "%CommonProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe Drive CS4\ADFSMenu.dll"

on 64bit Windows:

START -> Run...

regsvr32 /u "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Adobe\Adobe Drive CS4\ADFSMenu.dll"

I have installed Adobe CS4, but I don't have any context menu entry's for Adobe CS4 Drive.

Maybe you guys missed an option that relates to this while customising your install?

Use this one instead

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Drive CS4\ADFSMenu.dll"

This works perfect while the regedit method does not work (on 64).

thanks

I really hate how it wasn't optional to unselect it during install. :no:

That's easy to fix. On the disc, navigate to the payloads folder. In there you will find two folders; AdobePhotoshop11-core and AdobePhotoshop11-core_x64.

In each of those folders you will find a file named AdobePhotoshop11-core.proxy.xml and AdobePhotoshop11-core_x64.proxy.xml.

Open AdobePhotoshop11-core.proxy.xml (make a backup first) and find the section that begins with <Dependencies>, highlight from <Dependencies> to </Dependencies> and replace with the below changes.

The next time you need to install, you will be able to uncheck most* of what you don't want or need.

* not everything that is set to recommended will be able to be unchecked.

Unregistering the dll doesn't seem to work for me on Vista x64 or Win7 x64, as the file path specified doesn't exist. Also I have just found out if you search for {C95FFEAE-A32E-4122-A5C4-49B5BFB69795} in the registry and delete all entries it should get rid of the entry from everywhere (Y).

Update for win7 RC. Unregistering the dll doesn't work you have to rename the dll or delete it.

I'm running 64bit seven rc.

I can't find the .dll anywhere. It not in either the 64 or 86 program files folders referred to. But when I enter regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Drive CS4\ADFSMenu.dll" it says successfully unregistered but drive context menu is still present.

Any thoughts

Here is what you need to do if you have Windows 7 RC 64- bit (build 7100). None of what people have said worked for me. I realized you need to run the command prompt with administrator privileges for the changes to take effect.

1. Start > All Programs > Accessories > right click Command Prompt and select Run As Administrator

2. Type the following: regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Drive CS4\ADFSMenu.dll"

3. Click OK and then check by right clicking on a file in a Windows Explorer window.

Thanks, that worked for me. I never could get it to work in Vista though, oddly. I tried everything mentioned in this thread too. That's moot now though. :yes:

Sorry to bump this, but wanted to say thanks. This worked for me.

    • How to reduce the annoying Liquid Glass effects on iOS 26 by Aditya Tiwari Apple announced Liquid Glass at WWDC 2025 in all of its glory. It's a new glass-inspired design language from the iPhone-maker making its way to most of its software platforms, including iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, and watchOS 26. Apple markets Liquid Glass as a new translucent material that "behaves like glass in the real world. Its color is informed by surrounding content and intelligently adapts between light and dark environments." The Cupertino giant isn't wrong. The new glass-inspired design does bring a fresh coat of paint and some beautiful visuals to the iPhone and other Apple-made devices. However, as the dust from the mega arrival settles, people are starting to realize the current drawbacks of having too much glass on their device. There have been reports of users, including those at Neowin, experiencing readability issues, background separation issues, and trouble focusing on the content displayed on the screen due to its transparent nature. While these are small nuances on Apple's part that can be fixed without much hassle, it's degrading the initial experience of what the company calls its biggest visual upgrade since iOS 7. That said, there are some workarounds built into iOS 26 that will help you tone down the shortcomings. If you're running the iOS 25 Developer Beta 1 on your supported iPhone model, you can follow these steps to make things a little better: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll down and tap on Accessibility > Display & Text Size. Next, you'll find two toggle options: Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast. When you enable the Reduce Transparency toggle button, iOS 26 can "improve contrast by reducing transparency and blurs on some backgrounds to increase legibility." The other toggle, Increase Contrast, does what its name suggests. It can "increase color contrast between app foreground and background colors." Enabling each of these toggle buttons individually or simultaneously will have different effects on your iPhone's user interface. Control Center is being criticized for the extra transparency, making the UI look cluttered and difficult to focus. Here, the Reduce Transparency button adds a darker background to make the Control Center UI elements stand out. Liquid Glass transparency issues are also prevalent in the Notification Center and the navigation controls of various apps. In the image above, see how the text of the navigation buttons has become unreadable or hard to focus on with certain backgrounds. It's challenging to determine what can trigger such behavior, as one can have countless color combinations on their device. In the image below, this is how these buttons look when both Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast are enabled. It's still a hit or miss depending on what colors you are dealing with. Part of the blame also goes to the fact that iOS 26 is still an early beta, and the change doesn't render as intended every time. You can also notice the difference in the look and feel of the Control Center when reduced transparency is turned on. On a side note, you can add the Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast buttons in the Control Center for quicker access. That said, let's wait to see what changes Apple will implement as it continues to gather feedback through the beta program. Hopefully, the software will become more stable when the first public beta of iOS 26 arrives sometime in July. Interested users can try out the latest iPhone update through the developer beta program, noting that early builds might come with unexpected bugs and issues.
    • Austin residents rally against Tesla's robotaxi launch by Hamid Ganji Tesla's plan to launch its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, has sparked protests in the city. While the EV maker targets June 22 as the launch date, local residents are raising their voices against the plan due to political disagreements and safety concerns. As reported by CNBC, public safety advocates and political protesters are organizing protests against Tesla's robotaxi launch in Austin. Members of the Dawn Project, Tesla Takedown, and Resist Austin have cited safety issues with Tesla's automated driving systems. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's involvement in Donald Trump's administration and his work in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has prompted another group of people to join the Austin protests against Tesla. To show Austin citizens the safety problems of Tesla's self-driving system, The Dawn Project brought a Tesla Model Y to the protest, equipped with the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software (version 13.2.9). In the demonstration, the Model Y with FSD software reportedly zoomed past a school bus with a stop sign held out and ran over a child-sized mannequin placed in front of the car. The FSD package includes automatic lane-keeping, steering, and parking. It is unclear to what extent this test was conducted under standard conditions or what Tesla's defense is. However, multiple cases of Tesla FSD software malfunction in the past have resulted in collisions or severe accidents, according to data collected by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Interestingly, The Dawn Project CEO Dan O'Dowd is the CEO of another company that sells embedded safety and security solutions to carmakers like Ford and Toyota. It remains to be seen whether Tesla could launch a robotaxi service in Austin despite the residents' protests. Earlier this week, Elon Musk demonstrated the new version of Tesla's FSD software in a post on X. Musk's decisions on DOGE fuel public backlash against Tesla. While Musk left the Trump administration after a beef with the president, he's still a target of public criticism, which directly imapcts Tesla. As a result, the slow sales have even caused Tesla to sell its Cybertruck with 0 percent APR to boost sales.
