If you want to remove the "Enqueue with Windows Media Player" entry too, copy & paste the 5 lines of the *.reg file and replace all

\Play

with

\Enqueue

which finally looks like:

HTML Code:

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Stack.Audio\shell\Play]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Stack.Image\shell\Play]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\audio\shell\Play]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\Directory.Audio\shell\Play]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\Directory.Image\shell\Play]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Stack.Audio\shell\Enqueue]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Stack.Image\shell\Enqueue]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\audio\shell\Enqueue]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\Directory.Audio\shell\Enqueue]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\Directory.Image\shell\Enqueue]

If you turn off windows media player in Windows optional features, is the Play with WMP context menu entry disabled as well?

Great! Thank you!
