On Windows 7 how do you remove programs that add themselves to the right click menu?

Question

After installing Tortoisehg workbench whenever I right click on an icon or the desktop on the menu it has options for Hg Workbench and Tortoisehg. I don't want that, how do I get rid of it? By the way, what is that feature called? I thought it's referred to as shell integration but after I googled the phrase it only came up with the calculus shell integration.

Yes, it's often called "shell integration", and is done by shell extensions ("shell" referring to Explorer, the graphical shell of Windows).

One program that lets you disable individual shell extensions is Nirsoft ShExView.
