Megan Before I rename (or delete) anything, I want to ask about the several DropboxExt## entries.  Are all of these (10 of them!) normal?  Necessary?  Also, I note that they are not 15 entries down.  Is that relevant?  And I don’t use OneDrive or GoogleDrive, really...they just were installed once or possibly without my knowledge...do I need their entries?

Hey mblatz01, keep in mind that all the Dropbox entries would need to be within the top 15.

 

In the screenshot DropboxExt07 through 10 aren't within that top 15. I suggest that you move them all, at least 3 places "up" to see how that behaves. 

 

You can avoid deleting any other entries for now, but if you must you can later bring them back just by running the relevant app's installer again.

    MeganStill no change in behavior, i.e. "copy link" for files still not appearing in context menu.  This is after making regiatry edits, re-booting and re-checking that registry mods were still in effect:
