How do I delete links to web sites that show up in the
menu when I right click while in IE 6.0? The links
appear directly above the line that appears
above "Properties." I'm not concerned with the likes
of "Export to Microsoft Excel." There are, however, some
links to sites I'd rather not know about, or visit. I
know, don't click on the links! At any rate, these are
the links I'm trying to delete. Highlighting the links
and pressing Delete, Ctrl-Delete, or Shift-Delete doesn't
remove the links. Pressing Ctrl-Alt just closes
the "right click" menu.
 
Start-Run-Regedit.
Navigate to this key and see if your offending item is there in the
list of sub-keys. If so, then remove it.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt

Hi Ramesh,

ToolbarCop did, in fact, do the job...very painlessly.
Thank you so very much.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your help. I tried the ToolbarCop utility
suggested by Ramesh before I got to your solution.
ToolbarCop did the job very neatly. Thanks again for
caring.
