Get ToolbarCop:

ToolbarCop removes the Toolbars, Toolbar buttons and unwanted menu-extensions from Internet Explorer. It does not remove the spyware from the system entirely.
Additionally, run Ad-Aware scan (
www.lavasoftusa.com). Update Ad-Aware before scanning
Manual Procedure:
1. Click [Start] [Run] type [REGEDIT]
2. Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt.
Each subkey of this key represents one menu item. Many will include an ampersand (&) to define the underlined key associated with the command.
Highlight the key you want to delete (for example, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Zoom &In).
Choose Export from the Registry menu and export that branch to a file.
Now delete the key.
For start button context menu, yu need to check here in registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Directory\Shell\]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Folder\Shell\]
