How to remove winamp completely?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

The WinAmp related menu items would be available under here:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the above location. Select the WinAmp.*
entries and remove them.

Close Regedit.

Manage the context-menu entries for files, folders, drives and Namespace
objects:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm

The entries are added at the file-class level.also. For example, to
re-associate the .mp3 files with WMP (which removes the WinAmp from the
right-click menu), run this command:

cmd /c assoc .mp3=mp3file

(Type this command in Start, Run dialog)

To learn more about ASSOC command, type "cmd /k assoc /?" in Run.

For which file-types the Winamp entries appear in the context-menu?

For WMV, the two options can come from any of these locations (and from
other areas):

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\shell\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.wmv\shell\

The above assumes that .WMV's ProgID is WMVFile. You can verify it by typing
this in Start, Run:

cmd /k assoc .wmv

If the output is anything other than "WMVFile", then post back.

I found three files:

Winamp3.File
Winamp3.Playlist
Winamp3.SkinZip

Should I delete all of them?
