;Remove Add to Now Playing List and Add to Playlist for Avi Files
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AVIFile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\WMPAddToPlaylist]
;This key also needs to be removed along with any of the 4 keys above
;It is found in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
[...root\SystemFileAssociations\video\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\WMPAddToPlaylist]

This is great here, and acurate...
But, I have another problem.
I do not want to remove anithing.
The problem which I hae, is tha when I right click Context Menu on e.g. .WAV, .MP3, .WMV, .AVI and all other multimedia file tipes, weell, nothing happens.
The WMP do not start as the link is broken...
Please help and advice.
Thank you in advance for every usefull information.
go to [start]> settings> control panel
open folder options open the file types tab, then look for a specific extension like WAV. Then relink it to the correct program using the advanced button.
Thanks for the tip
