• We will create a vbs script, clicking itself will select all files and folders where it is located. Obviously, it is not possible to carry or copy paste this vbs script in every folder throughout your Windows 7 PC. So, we will move further.

How to remove this select all option from right click context menu?

 

• Delete the vbs file from Windows folder.

Like this: -HKEY_CLASSES.... It does not matter what ever you name the file. Run the registry file and you will get rid of the select all option from right click context menu.

As always, all the required vbs script, registry files are here for you. Click here to download the rar file and you can use immediately without any codings.
