Clearing-up the context menu

Ever uninstalled a program and had options relating to it linger in the context menu when you right-click the mouse? If you have (like me) try using ShellMenuView by NirSoft. I've found it to be quite useful, not just for removing features from programs that I'd already deleted but for disabling features that I rarely used.
