I have a link stuck in my mouse.

I have a naughty link stuck in my mouse's right click
menu in Explorer.
Any ideas on how to remove it?

Thanks

Try this but first create a System Restore Point. To do that go to
Start->Help and Support->Pick a task and click the link to System Restore.
Follow the wizard to Create a new restore point.

1) Go to Start -> Run -> type regedit and navigate here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers (note the asterisk "*")

2) 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, exit the
Registry and refresh.

To remove entries from right-click menu on folders and/or drives navigate
here HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandle rs for folders -or-
here HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandler s for drives, and
follow the same procedure as you did with files.

Hi,

For IE delete the entries from here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shel l
