Modify desktop context menu items

Having installed really early versions of Visual Studio, and then replacing them with newer ones have resulted in duplicate "Open with Code" context menu items on Windows 10 desktop. While not critical, this is a bit annoying. Especially when one of the context menus does not work anymore.
To resolve, it is enough to delete a key in the registry. The location for the context menu is
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
