  1. Click Start
  2. Click Run
  3. Type in regedit and click ENTER
  4. Browse to the following: 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

You simply delete or export then delete the keys you do not want.
There are several "kinds" of menu handlers, however, so you could browse to any of the following and perhaps find stuff you want to get rid of:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
