THIS SHOULD HELP YOU OUT http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc2/v11/vic11.htm HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers Click the the + sign next to the ContextMenuHandlers key, to expand it. Now you will see some of the programs that have added items to your right-click menu. Simply delete the program keys you don't want. Yup! It's that simple. If deleting makes you uneasy, just export the key before deleting it. Or, instead of deleting the values, disable them. Simply double click the default value for the program on the right hand pane and rename the clsid value by placing a period or dash in front of it. ie; - {b5eedee0-c06e-11cf-8c56-444553540000} Then exit the registry, refresh, and right click a file to see if the item was removed from the menu. Some programs - like WinZip or WinRar - will add several items to your right click menu but all of them will be removed by deleting or disabling their one context menu handler. Note that the above key only applies to the right click menu of files. To remove entries from the right click context menu of folders, you need to navigate to the Folder and Drive keys: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Don't know if you're aware but the famous netsky.xxx virus uses winlogon.exe to mess up your e-mails. When W32.Netsky.K@mm runs, it does the following: Creates a mutex named "LK[skyNet.cz]SystemsMutex." This mutex allows only one instance of the worm to execute. Copies itself %Windir%\winlogon.exe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: %Windir% is a variable. The worm locates the Windows installation folder (by default, this is C:\Windows or C:\Winnt) and copies itself to that location. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adds the value: "ICQ Net"="%Windir%\winlogon.exe -stealth"
