How to remove "Share with Skype" from the Windows Explorer context menu

In a recent update a new Share with Skype context menu item has appeared. How can this item be removed?

Solution 1:

In case you are using the Skype App, removing the context menu item is trickier.

One way is to delete DllPath under

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PackagedCom\Package\Microsoft.SkypeApp_15.61.100.0_x86__kzf8qxf38zg5c\Class\{776DBC8D-7347-478C-8D71-791E12EF49D8} 

However updates to the app will probably restore this. Adding the following REG_SZ key

"{776DBC8D-7347-478C-8D71-791E12EF49D8}"="Skype"

to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked]

is probably a good idea. Restart Windows to take effect.

Solution 2:

Update: Works in Windows 10 version 21H1 too.

Original answer:
As of Windows 10 version 2004, you can do the following to remove the "Share with Skype" from the context menu:

1. Run the following REG ADD command in an elevated cmd:

   REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked" /v {776DBC8D-7347-478C-8D71-791E12EF49D8} /d Skype
   

2. Restart the Explorer process through Task Manager to see the effect. You do not need to restart Windows.

^{* Based on the answer given by Ajasja. So all credits go to him. I merely created the REG command.}

Solution 3:

On Windows 8 (and Windows 10?), RegEdit found the entry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ShareWithSkype

Deleted that, and the item disappeared from the context menu immediately - no need to reboot / log out.

No need to mess with ShellExView 2.01 because Skype did not show up there anyway.
