Remove Extract All tweak doesn't work for non .zip files

Under Context Menu - Remove Default Entries I have Extract All checked, but it seems to only get rid of the context menu entry on .zip files. Does anyone know how to also remove it from .7z and .rar files (or just all compressed files)? I'm using NanaZip and it's currently associated to all compressed file types.

I already posted this on TenForums, but since this is a Win11 issue, here you go.

Win11 23H2 here.
Download PowerRun (or AdvancedRun or ExecTI), so you won't have to deal with changing owners and permissions of registry keys.
Use one of the above apps to run your registry editor of choice.

To remove Extract All from the context menu of ZIP archives go to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.zip\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
and delete {b8cdcb65-b1bf-4b42-9428-1dfdb7ee92af}

To remove Extract All from the context menu of RAR archives go to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.rar\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
and delete {EE07CEF5-3441-4CFB-870A-4002C724783A}

I guess the same logic goes for 7z and other archives, haven't checked it though.

Thanks go to TBugReporter for discovering the registry keys!

Thanks, this finally fixed it!

Though, it's a bit annoying how I have to look through all the file associations for compressed file types, I found six or seven copies of the {EE07CEF5-3441-4CFB-870A-4002C724783A} key in the other compressed file types, but I'm not sure if I got them all. Well, realistically whenever I'm dealing with a compressed file that's not .zip, .7z, .rar, .tgz, or .xz is like <0.1% of the time, so this is definitely good enough.

Thanks again for the help
