Answer 2

@LanternD's answer is just correct, carefully follow the steps would solve the problem cleanly.

However, there's a tiny problem in filepath due to Markdown's escape grammar. In solution 2:

2. To delete "Edit with PyCharm ..." in the menu when right click on the file icon:

Navigate to "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Open with PyCharm Community Edition".

The correct path should be Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with PyCharm Community Edition. Notice this part: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell, there should be a backslash before the asterisk. Markdown grammar recognizes \* as trying to escape the asterisk symbol, so that backslash was omitted.

I was originally going to just edit the correct answer above, but it requires at least 6-characters' change. Also my reputation isn't enough for me to add a comment below that answer, so I chose to make a new answer instead. I am not sure if I should do it this way, please correct me if needed.
