I was recently greeted to a new entry in my desktop context menu after installing 8.12 drivers with the Catalyst Control Center:



I have no idea what the second entry does, since clicking it results in nothing happening.
So I open up CCC and find this new section:



It's completely disabled. I only have a single HD3850. The IGP on my mobo is nVidia, which is disabled anyway.

I spent the last hour or so finding a way to remove the second entry, and this is the only thing I could find:
Deleting this key removes both entries from the context menu
Code:
KEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ACE
This solved one problem and caused another. I do not like the tray icon, so I have it disabled, so the only way I know to get into CCC is via the context menu. Does anyone know of a way to disable just the "Configure Additive Graphics" entry and keep the CCC entry?

If I kept both disabled, is there some sort of shortcut I could make to get there instead? I don't want to have to go to Display->Settings->Advanced->CCC every time.
EDIT: Just made a hotkey to get there. :)

I got 8.12's and I don't see that. I also didn't notice any gain in games with 8.12's on my 4870x2, this might be what I'm looking for. Anyone got an idea?

Also in your case, that sounds like whatever was suppose to boost ATI cards performance, but it was only suppose to work on HD4000 cards.
