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.

  &lt;Dependencies&gt;
	&lt;ProductInfo type="required"&gt;
				&lt;Family&gt;Photoshop&lt;/Family&gt;

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).

This worked for me Vista Ult X64...Thanks

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"

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:

This is the method posted by Phaelox, modified for Windows 7 beta 64-bit:

Just type in Start>Run...

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

\o/

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

Stupid Adobe.

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
