I had EZvideo chat installed and I didn't use it much at all so I unstalled it. But now when I right click on a folder in My Documents" it still shows up in there. How can I take it out???? <<< What life deals you is not your choice. How you play your hand, is. >>>

Michelle, Open Regedit and go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers. Click the plus sign (+) next to 'ContextMenuHandlers' to see keys for every program that has options in the context menu. Then select the key for the program that you uninstalled. Double-click the (Default) value in the right pane to bring up an editing box that has the Value data field highlighted. Press <CTRL>+C to copy this string to the Clipboard. Then press <esc>. Right-click the open key in the left pane and delete it. Press <CTRL>+F to start a search. With the cursor in the 'Find what' field, press <CTRL>+V to insert the numbers that you copied from the Value data field. Uncheck the Values and Data fields and click Find Next. The search should stop at a key inside HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID. In the right pane, the default value's data should describe the program. Delete that key. And remember to backup (export) any key before you delete it.(or create a restore point). SullyD Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want...

Thanks SullyD! I am going to print this post so I will have it to look at. And I will definately make a restore point before I do anything. Thank you again. <<< What life deals you is not your choice. How you play your hand, is. >>>

You're welcome, Michelle. Let us know how you make out. SullyD Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want...

Hi Michelle, You've probably gotten that list together already, which we may or may not need, but I may have your answer... The registry key you tried is for the context menu for files, not for folders or drives. Try doing the same thing for these two: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers If this thing is in your right-click menu, it's gotta be in your registry. It may even be under an "alias"... but we'll find it ; ) SullyD Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want...

OK SullyD, here is the first list: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{a2a9545d-a0c2-42b4-9708-a0b2badd77c8} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Fix-It Menu HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Offline Files HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With EncryptionMenu <<< What life deals you is not your choice.

Well what I found was this after I scrolled down under the "*" : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\EZPhotoBrowser2.Document HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\EZPhotoBrowser2.Document\shell HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\EZPhotoBrowser2.Document\shell\open But when I clicked on the "default" and the edit dialog came up there wasn't anything in the "value" box. <<< What life deals you is not your choice.
