TortoiseHg without context menu commands

The TortoiseHG context menu entries completely messed up the look of the Windows 7 Explorer context menu , and I can do a great job with the hg command line tools. However, the Overlay turtles icons are a must for me.

How to disable TortoiseHg context menu commands, but still have Overlay Tortoise icons in hg repository folders?

I had the same problem, but it seems to be fixed in the latest TortoiseHg - if you still have the problem, try updating.

You need to remove the following Windows registry keys using the "regedit.exe" tool. Before you delete them, back up the registry. And please note that I can not guarantee if you have any problems.
