remove link from right click menu
Hi,
This sounds like you've accidently installed some spyware onto your computer. This most likely came from whilst surfing on the internet and a Security Window came up asking you if you would like to install and run a certain file. These security windows usually have a Yes, No and More Info button on them. Once you hit Yes, then it'll download and then run on your computer. This sort of spyware has been very common and the best thing to do is to get rid of it. Check your Add/Remove Programs to see if there is a listing "Cool Web Search" and then remove it. If it's not there you should try to download LavaSoft's AdAware (http://www.lavasoft.de) , or any other spyware removal software such as SpyBot Search and Destroy and so on.. -- Gary Tsang Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User wrote in message ...

remove link from right click menu
Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt Each of the subkeys, under this key, represents an IE context menu item. Right click the appropriate subkey and select Delete. You may want to right click and select Export, first. This creates a backup, just in case you delete something you didn't want to. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
