Regtweak to remove "Print" from context menu

[spiritpyre]

Hi I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out with this one. I'm trying to remove the "print" option that appears on the right-click/context menu of certain files. I've noticed that it generally only appears for text-based and picture files, and I've been able to get rid of it on the text-based files like so:

REGEDIT4
;============================================
; Remove the "Print" context item from the following filetypes:
; 	- .bat
; 	- .cmd
; 	- .doc
; 	- .html
; 	- .inf
; 	- .ini
; 	- .log (just a textfile with .log extension)
; 	- .pdf
; 	- .reg
; 	- .rtf
; 	- .ttf
; 	- .txt
; 	- .vbs
; 	
; 	as well as a few others
;============================================

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\batfile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\cmdfile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Eraser.Document\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\fonfile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\inffile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\inifile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\pfmfile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\regfile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\rtffile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ttcfile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ttffile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\txtfile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSFile\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wordpad.Document.1\shell\print]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\wrifile\shell\print]

I could probably get away with the same result using just a minus [...shell\print\command] but i doesn't really matter to me as long as I remove "Print" from the context menu (without actually interfering with my ability to print the file normally). But when I got to the picture files, I noticed they don't have a [...shell\print] but only a [...shell\printto] and removing it doesn't do anything.

For example here are some of the [...shell\printto] values I had deleted:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\giffile\shell\printto\command\: "rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4""

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\jpegfile\shell\printto\command\: "rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4""

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\pngfile\shell\printto\command\: "rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4""

and I even tried deleting entire key for a given filetype and still can't get it (ie. deleted [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\jpegfile], [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.jpg] etc)

Could someone please shed some light on what's going on here or tell me of some other way to get the same result (preferably with hacking a dll as I can't really automate that)? Any thought or ideas are welcome.
