19956 2001-10-03 23:45:00 Hello,
Having installed and then uninstalled programs like Webwasher and Copernic, I am left with links on my Right click drop down menus. Does anyone know how to remove them now that they do not link to programs?
Thank you,
Martin

If you're not on these OS's, then I'd imagine its a registry hack, not simple.

The following 4 keys are where the Righ-Click menu options are stored for folders, directories, and drives. To remove a right-click context menu item, delete any of the sub-keys that are below these keys.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHan dlers

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandle rs

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandler s

Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2000
from http://www.ashampoo.com/
should do it. It picks up a lot of errors that RegEdit doesn't find.


Good Luck
