Incredimail removal

[Steve Bird]

I have found that my wonderfull daughter has attempted to install Incredimail
onto my XP system. I now have an extra option in my right click options.
How can I remove this from my right click options???

Thanks
Steve

Steve, acording to Patrick Marshall of the Seattle Times:
"You can use the uninstall program provided with Incredimail found in the
same folder as Incredimail itself. "

Getting rid of the program should make the extra option disappear.

Have you tried using System Restore to restore the system to an earlier
checkpoint prior to the installation of Incredimail?

I would try this as a first step. Failing that launch the Registry Editor
(Start > Run and type regedit) and check the values within the following
keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
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 find any Incredimail Sub Keys right-click them and select delete
within the context menu. Please only attempt this if you are familiar with
the Windows Registry Editor and ensure you backup your registry before
making any modifications (either with System Restore or manually).

Make her a Limited User. She won't be able to install crap (including
viruses).

Search Google for 'Spybot - Seek And Destroy'

This will help clean up the computer and remove Incredimail (it is
a possible spyware program after all)
