   Not quite.  AFAIK that *key*s (default) value   
   ("{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}") is to let windows search know it   
   is allowed to look at the files contents (google for it).   
      
   Personally I would suggest to export (save) both the ".bat" as well as the   
   "batfile" (the ".bat" keys default entry) and experiment a bit.   
      
   For starters deleting keys under "batfile" -> "shell" (perhaps not the   
   "open" one ...) as well as the whole "ShellEx" key and see how the context   
   menu changes.  Some stuff will disappear, but likely not everything.   
      
   If the result is acceptable some of the origional "shell" keys could be   
   restored (checking the context menu every time ofcourse).
