How can I remove "Toast it" from Finder contextual menu?

Hi,

do you know how to remove the "Toast it" from Finder contextual menu item? It is installed by Roxio Toast 10 Titanium, and it does not unistall it. The folder "~/Library/Contextual Menu items" is empty, and I do not have any "Contextual menu items" under /Library or /System/Library

Many thanks in advanced.

You are dead sure of that right? It sounds very strange. Do a search with .plugin as a search term-don't forget the leading dot, (bring finder to the front and press ⌘F. Then in the window that opens choose +'This Mac'+ from the toolbar. Next change the search criteria, Kind to any. Now click the plus button on the right and choose *System Files are included*. If you don't see that option click other from the drop down and then choose System files).
Anything show up?

No, it doesn't. It is a "drag and drop" installation. I uninstaled it using AppCleaner, rebooted, and the "Toast it" contextual menu is there! If I use it with the software unistalled, it says (sorry for the translation, the original error is in Spanish):

"The service 'Toast it' couldn't be used because couldn't find the application 'ToastItService'".

So it is a service, but it is not on any known service folder!
Where should it be?

I found the option "Toast it" on the keyboard shortcut preference panel (on Services -> Internet). I disabled it, and the contextual menu option disappeared!

I cannot find the relation, but now I do not have that menu option. Do you know where are the keyboard shortcuts configuration files?

Thanks again for your answers.

Hi,

with a little help from this thread I have gotten rid of my persistent "Toast it" contextual menu item.

In my case, once the option "Toast it" on the keyboard shortcut preference panel was disabled, I could delete the Toastit.service that I had already found in the user/library/services folder.

However you have to logged out/in again before you can delete it.

Regards and thanks for previous answers. Never would have thought of keyboard shortcuts without you ... 🙂
