IE Right Click menu editing

[Aaron]

Hey,
Lately some annoying things have appeared in the right click menu for
Internet Explorer 6. By right click menu i mean right clicking anywhere in
the IE window, even on a link. Items on the menu include Back, Forward,
Save background as... Properties, etc. Is there any way to edit this menu
manually? Is it stored in a config or sys file somewhere? It'd really be
helpful if i could edit this menu.
Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

Yes. They can be removed from here: Start/Run/Regedit
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt

a binary entry of 0 0 0 0 ...thats it.

heh no problem about not being able to help me with my problem - i got it
figured out.
But, as far as yours goes, im not quite sure i understand the problem.
Where are you trying to right click? Is this like when you click the start
button in the lower left corner and then try to right click something there?
or is this in internet explorer?. I cant find anywhere where it lets me
copy to desktop and stuff like that. =\

Hi Aaron,

Delete the entry in question. Best bet is to run these:

Spybot

Hijack This
http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

Free Online Virus Scan
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

Other options:

Remove Added IE Toolbar Entries (Line 174)

It depends on where in the right click menu.

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\Folder\shell
