Try he

Subkeys:
.xxx File extension
audio
Directory.Audio

Not possible.

Good Luck, Ayush.

Wes, the application that added those is WMP. If I uninstall it, then I
can't use it. Plan B?

I reread your original post and see that now. Duh.

Get ShellExView, it's free.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

Disable...
WMP Add To Playlist Launcher
WMP Burn Audio CD Launcher
WMP Play As Playlist Launcher

I have WMP 9 and that's all that's listed in ShellExView for me for WMP.

Some additional info on ShellExView here...
Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm

With ShellExView it's also real easy to re-enable disabled items.
