I let a neighbor use my computer while I was gone one
evening. The next day when I went to use my computer
there were unmentionable sights listed when I click my
right mouse button. I have children 10 and 12 I do not
want them to be able to have access to these sights. Can
anyone out there tell me how I can delete them so when I
click my right mouse button they will not appear? I would
like to tatally get rid of them but they do not show up
in my program files. I'm assuming that they are some kind
of link.

Thanks to anyone who can help me out!!
 
Hi,

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\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

If you can't find the exact listing, while in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT go to
Edit/Find and type in the exact wording.
