context menu

[Guest]

When I Right click on a shortcut in the Start/All Programmes menu the context
menu takes a long time to come up and containd a number of duplicates ( for
Virus check and winzip0 which I suspect is the problem. I have looked at the
context handlers with ShellexView and can not identify any duplicates. I have
also worked through the hints from Ramesh's Sitebut again can not identify
where the duplcates originate. Any help to get rid of these would be welcome.

Disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers one at a time and verify if
the problem is solved. If disabling one does not solve the problem, undo
the disabled item and disable the next non-Microsoft handler.

Check here:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

If you still can't figure it out, let me know and good luck!

Thankd for the advice. If I remove or dissable any of the non microsoft
context menu handlers both copies of the item dissappear from the right click
menu. This is not used very often and may be best forgotten, If I see
anything incorrect I like to fix it if possible, so any further suggestions
welcome.

Your message is a bit mixed in itself. Hope you have it all working by now.
