Hey all,<BR><BR>Is there a way to edit what is in the right click menu for internet explorer? Basically what I want to do is edit out something that was placed there. <BR><BR>Here is the story, you will probably get a kick out of it as I should have known better.<BR><BR>I sent my brother an e-card, an e-card of somewhat questionable nature, nothing raunchy but still x-rated. After I sent the card I went into my favorites folder to go to another site and it was full of a bunch of links that I did not put there, all porn stuff!! So after running Ad-Aware and getting rid of 52 new spy ware files, registry hacks, and home page hijackers I still had a file in "cdocuments..." and a link to a porn site stuck in the right click menu when using IE.<BR><BR>How do I get rid of that link? Is it in the registry or a file?<BR>I also tried using the windows search, That little puppy couldn't find a bone if it was stuck in his .....ummmm.... ear.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.

Thanks in54n3,<BR><BR>I gave it a shot but it said I was clean.<BR><BR>My guess is if it got put in, there must be a way of taking it out. I just have to find out where so I can take it out manually.<BR><BR>I do have a backup up of the original registry, what do you think?<BR>My guess is if I do that any program will have to be reinstalled. <BR>I could use the system restore but would I rather find it.<BR><BR>Anyone?

Never mind guys, I got it!<BR><BR>For anyone who has a similar problem this is what I did.<BR><BR>seeing how the windows search came up with no results I tried searching the registry. I didn't know how to do that but there is a help section. (dahhh)<BR><BR>Open edit then click on find, I typed in the main word for the web site it was bringing me to and there it was!!<BR><BR>delete! bye bye. <BR><BR>It was in java so I have it disabled in security, is there a better way? Custom settings?
