Hi,

In XP, when I click on <Start> <Search> , I get the following sub-menu
categories listed:

------------------------------------------------
[For Files or Folders...]
[On the Internet...]
[For People...]
[On an FTP Site using WS_FTP Pro...]
------------------------------------------------

My question: I no longer have the program "WS_FTP Pro" on my pc, so how do
I delete this item from my <Search> sub-menu on the <Start> menu? I already
tried right clicking on it and that did nothing. I also tried going into
<Start> <Settings> <Taskbar and Start Menu> <Start Menu> <Customize...>
<Remove> and <Advanced>, but couldn't find anything do do with "WS_FTP Pro"
or the <Search> sub-menu at all. So, what must I do, and I do I delete that
item from my <Start> Menu - <Search> Sub-Menu category? Thanks.

Best Regards,

Eugene

Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs/ should list WS_FTP as an app you can
uninstall.

Mark,

I uninstalled WS_FTP a long time ago. The problem is, that menu item is
still 'sticking' there. There must be a way either via the registry or
somewhere else in XP to delete that item, but where and how?

was uninstalled using the Add/Remove Programs), so how do I delete this
