When I right-click on any folder in Windows Explorer I get a list of possibilities, one of which puzzles me
At the top of the list in the window that opens is EXPLORE, then OPEN, followed by
JAVASCRIPT:{DOCUMENT.LOCATION="HTTP://..........";} There’s a unwelcome website listed in there
It's this third one that puzzles me. Why is it there and how do I get rid of it or at least change the web address that's listed
I’ve run Spybot & AdAware, but they haven’t gotten rid of this problem

It does sound like you have been attacked by some kind of ad attack
software.
If Spybot & AdAware can find or remove the problem, you may need to take
direct action.
I would first back up the registry then do a search for the offending
"http://" string and delete all keys referring to it.

Is the file you're referring to the one named REGEDIT in the main Windows folder
Thanks
