shell extenions

[sedative]

here's an odd question. does anybody know a way to get rid of "invalid" or other unneeded shell extentions? for example, if you have winamp installed, when you right click on an item you see "enqueue in winamp". stuff like that.

i'm not asking this regarding winamp, i'm actually looking to get rid of "scan with norton antivirus". it has been removed from my system, yet the shell extention remains. and before anybody suggets that i reinstall/uninstall the program.. been there, done that.

:grump

Do a search in the registry for all instances of:

"Symantec.Norton.Antivirus.IEContextMenu" (without the quotes)

It will be under a few entries like:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTfileShellExContextMenuHandlersSymantec.Norton.Antivirus.IEContextMenu

Delete all these entries you find under "ContextMenuHandlers"

Delete any copies of NAVSHEXT.DLL on the HD. It handles the norton Antivirus Shell Extensions.
