Spybot still on menu

[Andrew]

Hi - I recently deleted Spybot Search & Destroy via the control panel and
replaced with Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition which I decided to try out.
Everything seems OK however, right clicking on a file or folder, the drop
down menu still has 'Scan using Spybot&Destroy' on it as well as my
anti-virus and the new Ad-Aware program. Anyone of you geniuses knows how I'm
to rid the menu of this irksome remnant please tell - thanks Andrew.

Did you do the uninstall process or just removed the Spybot entry from
Add/Remove Programs?

It is annoying.

Locate and remove the "sdfiles" registry entry that references Spybot
here and here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\

Hi and thanks - I just removed the Spybot entry from Add/Remove Programs and
then searched and found an empty programm folder as all my hidden folders are
shown. - Andrew
