I did it a while ago, but I have completely forgotten how to do it? Perhaps somebody could enlighten me?

To be more precise, I recently installed the K-Lite codec pack, and it has added an option on my right click menu, which is displayed when right clicking on any file, called "Media Info". This is quite annoying because I don't use the program often enough for it to be on my right click menu. So I would like that to be deleted.

I would also like to add an option to my right click menu that is displayed with any file called, "Scan with Spybot - Search & Destroy". And this should obviously scan with spybot. The directory for Spybot is the default:

C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe

Preferably, it should have the spybot logo next to the scan option, but I don't know whether this is asking alot.

Thanks in advance for any comments :)
