    Ok, I've never found the answer for this yet and i probably miss it...but..!!

    I want to remove some of the options (IN the menu i'm going to explain below)...ok!!

    You right/click the start-button and a person get's a menu of things, like explore, browse with paint shop and etc.

    Comment:
    This is where some software installs put these annoying entries and would like to find how to remove some......probably in the reggie, but just haven't been able to find it.

    HELP.....!!!!!!

    Yes, I have.

    If one right/click's the start button for that menu, you can right/click or left/click anything there and it will auto start that application. Try your's to confirm..??

    No option to delete..!!!:confused:

    There are two keys to check out for this.
    Hkey_Classes_Root\Directory
    Hkey_Classes_Root\Folder
    Deleting the wrong thing here can create serious problems, as some will link to Hkey_Classes_Root\CLSID to call the InProcServer32, then further link to a TypeLib. I suggest highlighting those two keys above and go to Registry\Export Registry File on the toolbar in Regedit and export those keys as a backup.
    You'll have to poke around the subkeys under those keys to find what you are looking for.
