I was wondering how I can remove the "Open with PN2" item from the context menu? Nothing personal, my context menu's just pretty cluttered and I'm trying to tidy it up. I tried looking in the registry, but couldn't see anything, and I found a post on these forums, something about unregistering a dll called pnse.dll. Well, I tried unregistering it, both by right-click context menu, and from a command prompt using "regsvr32 /u pnse.dll" and both times I got errors (different errors mind). So how can I do this?

PN DeveloperHi,
That's odd, I presume you installed the shell extension yourself at some point as we don't install this automatically?
What errors do you get when you run
regsvr32 /u pnse.dll? That will help me to work out what's wrong. Failing that I'll try and work out manual registry removal steps.Thanks.

MemberSorry for not posting back sooner, I kinda forgot about this. Anyway, the error I get is:
DllUnregisterServer in pnse.dll failed.
Return code was: 0x8002801cAnd in answer to your question, I did not myself install the shell extension, but I installed Programmer's Notepad 2 via dvekitPro, a homebrew SDK used for creating Wii, DS and PSP homebrew (and I think there are other consoles supported too). I assume its installer must have done this...

PN DeveloperIf you're on Windows Vista, 2008 or 7, and UAC is enabled then you still need to run the console as administrator for this to work as horus says. Which version of Windows are you running?

MemberThat's odd. I don't see how you'd get a "permission denied" in XP.
Are you at ease with regedit?
If yes, you could try to make a search on "pnse" in the registry base. If it's found, it should be under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{84675AE3-84A5-4EB2-9DFA-E8EFEDE2762C}\1.0\win32
though {84675AE3-84A5-4EB2-9DFA-E8EFEDE2762C} might be different.
There, you should be able to see where the pnse.dll is located. If it's not where you thought it is, unregister it there. If it's where you thought it is, read the following paragraph.If you're not at ease with regedit, you could try to register your pnse.dll again and unregister it.
By the way, between registering and unregistering, you could check if you have one or two "Programmer's Notepad" context menu item. If there's two, pnse.dll is somewhere else.
