Have this in a .REG file, which you apply both before *AND* after winrar setup:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\Setup] 
"ShellExt"=dword:00000000
"CascadedMenu"=dword:00000000
"MenuIcons"=dword:00000000

That should be all that is needed for this task, I suppose.

The above code will force winrar to not have any icons in start-menu\programs, and no entries in the right-click (neither direct nor cascaded).

I've looked but since WinRAR is used so much, this is the closest thread I could find.

Does someone know how to create a folder in the context menu for winrar, I am looking to organize it better like IZarc.

sorta like this:

Your answer is right above. You need to have this registry tweak:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\Setup] 
"ShellExt"=dword:00000001
"CascadedMenu"=dword:00000001
"MenuIcons"=dword:00000001

Remember, that being a current_user tweak, this .REG needs to be applied at T-12 (through cmdlines.txt).

Do tell whether this did what you wanted.

omg, thats what happens at 2am, haha.

cascademenu is probably what i want. I will try it out I need to redo the regtweaks anyways.

ROCKIN!

[EDIT] I just tried it with RunOnceEx.cmd, it works great. I only needed to apply the tweak once after setup.
