I have a wasteful option left after uninstalling Gitkraken in windows 7 ultimate 64bit. I have tried many options like, in regidit i have searched in following places:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\git_gui]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\git_shell]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\git_gui]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\git_shell]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\background\shell\git_gui]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\background\shell\git_shell]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\git_gui]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\git_shell]
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
but i have got nothing related to git or git kraken so that i can remove that option.
It's worth noting that there are two items added to the context menu, one for each of the two right-click contexts. And as such, two entries exist in the Registry.
Context 1 - In the parent folder, when right-clicking on the folder icon of the repository:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\GitKraken
Context 2 - Within the repository folder, right-clicking on background white-space:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\GitKraken
I tend to use the second one more often, and there was a bug when I first installed the program. In order to fix this bug, change the last argument from %L
to %V
.
From:
"C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\gitkraken\update.exe" --processStart=gitkraken.exe --process-start-args="-p %L"
To:
"C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\gitkraken\update.exe" --processStart=gitkraken.exe --process-start-args="-p %V"
The entry is here on my machine:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\GitKraken
I'm not clear from the format of your list where you were actually checking, but that might be worth a look.
