| 312390 | 2005-01-09 10:16:00 | I asked this question last week and didn't get a suitable reply. When I right click on a shortcut anywhere on my computer, the context menu has double ups for my winzip and antivirus programs entries. This behaviour only started a couple of weeks ago and it's horrible. I like my menus to be trim and easy to read, but to have this thing gobbling up my screen real-estate every time I right click on a shortcut file is driving me mad. I have tried searching the registry for exact strings to no avail, tried the XP Powertoys - not suitable and tried disabling winzips context menu extensions, which remove the winzip entries, but none of these fix the root of the problem. Has anybody else ever seen this behaviour, and if you have, what did you do to fix it, short of employing a high power shotgun to blast througn a stack of 1000 Microsoft CD's and turfing the malware magnet that needs constant upgrading in favor of a peacable Linux system? |

The link above refers to a change initiated by the user, but without any doubt, I did not make the change that broke the system, so who was responsible? - Microsoft no doubt as the only relevant change I made to my system before discovering the context menu double ups was to let Windows Update do it's thing, which I do on a monthly basis. I don't let WU run whenever it wants to because I want to control my bandwidth usage. Trust Microsoft? - Not likely. Trustworthy Computing = LINUX, not macrofool (oops, I meant microsoft) |
