7-Zip adds too many CLSID entries during installation.
While it is needed to run 7-Zip, the problem lies in the 7-
Zip architecture, which uses registry to call the
libraries. There are other archivers that offers similar
functionality without using CLSID. 7-Zip should use
CLSID only for 7-Zip shell extension.

In future it will not use CLSID for plugins
