Isn't it ironic. Had both ShellMenuView and ShellExView next to each other and chose to run the wrong one.
Yes, Indeed ShellExView has OneDrive entries.


I tried disabling the marked entry in ShellExView but the annoyance is still there. Now I will disable them all to test if that solves it and then work my way backwards to pinpoint.

Just uninstall OneDrive if you don't need/want it?

Click to expand...

I don't mean this to sound disrespectful but ... isn't it implied from what I wrote so far that YES OneDrive is being used ... Uninstalling it is the captain obvious solution for which I wasn't gonna make a forum thread discussion ....

It's solved here - How to remove "OneDrive" from the Windows 11 Explorer menu - Chipp.in Tech News and Reviews. Full credit to the author. I'll just copy the solution in case it disappears from that site:

Remove OneDrive from Windows 11’s context menu​

1. Open the Start menu.
2. Type regedit.exe and press the Enter-key
3. Select Yes to continue.
4. Paste HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked into the Path at the top and press the Enter-key.
5. Right-click on Blocked.
6. Select New > String value.
7. Name it {1FA0E654-C9F2-4A1F-9800-B9A75D744B00}.
8. Double-click on the value.
9. Set its name to OneDrive.

The change takes effect on the next restart. You may also log off and then on again, or restart the explorer.exe process.

The OneDrive listing should no longer be visible in the context menu afterwards. Note that this does not impact any other OneDrive functionality on the device. Also note that this applies only to the user account under which the change was made.
