If you had installed MS Office 2013 on your Windows 8 then you will notice a new context menuSkyDrive Pro” when you click on any file or folder, if you are not using SharePoint then its not for your.

Remove_Gray_out_Sky_Pro

If you wish to remove it then it can be done very easily by just removing a key from Registry editor. If you too want to remove it then open registry editor by typing regedit in run command and then navigate too .

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAllFilesystemObjectsshell

Under Shell you will find another key, SPFS.ContextMenu, just deleting it will remove SkyDrive Pro option from context menu, but it will be a good idea if you can backup this key before deleting for this right click on SPFS.ContextMenu, and select export.

Update from Microsoft :-

Microsoft has too released an update for this issue, Microsoft says :-

When you right-click any folder or file on a computer that has SkyDrive Pro installed, the context-menu entry of SkyDrive Pro is displayed as shaded and is not clickable. This entry should not be displayed.
