Right Click Problems

[Chris]

Hello,
I am having some problems with my right click in
Internet Explorer. Recently, I hit a bad link and it
took me to a site that I didn't want to go to. Needless
to see I just closed out that window and continued on my
merry surfing way; however, I noticed that the site left
me a present. Now, whenever I right click in the
browser the menu screen will come up with the typical
options
Back
Forward
......
Select All
......
Etc...
But now I have an extra option placed in there right
below "refresh" and right above "properties". I clicked
on it trying to figure out what it was and its a link back
to that site that I didn't want to visit. It has left me
an embedded link in my right click options and I do not
have any clue how to get rid of it. Can someone please
help.

Go to Start | Run and type

regedit

Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt

and click on the plus (+) sign in front of MenuExt. Right click the subkey
representing what you want to get rid of and select Delete.

Start-->Run-->type "regedit" without quotes--> and follow this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt



And just right-click and delete the menu extension you want to get rid of.



Hope this helps,

Debbie
