Hello, it looks like uninstaller didn't unregister the shell extension. How Did you unistall Salamander?
Workaround:
1. unregister salamext.dll shell extenstion using command: regsvr32 /u salamext.dll
2. rename salamext.dll to (for example) salamext._dll.
3. restart Windows
4. delete salamext._dll

Shouldn't you unregister the Shell extension manualy before removing it? Manual uninstallation:
regsvr32 /u salamext.dll
