How to remove Atom from context menu
Raw
atomcontextmenu.remove
Type and open "regedit" on "Run" (usually pressing WIN + R)
Search for these classes and DELETE all of them:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell
Done! Atom context menu should be removed in no time.
This generally happens because Atom doesn't have a proper Installer, so the only way to remove it is deleting all it's files.
