When you visit some internet sites or install some programs, they may put their link (intentionally)in the Rt. (mouse)click menu. which remains even after un-installing these programs. How to remove them?
 
What exactly are you right clicking on? Is it a file, a folder or drive icon. Or is it something in Internet Explorer?
 
Right clicking on anything in a web page (any area, a link, a botton...etc)
 
See if any of the Programs you mention appear in this Registry location.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt

Also have a look in C\Windows\Downloaded Program Files

Perhaps a search in the Registry using the program name may turn up something.
 
Good Day, has anyone found any more information on this? I have a co-worker that has the same problem. It is hard to diagnose without the machine here at work. If anyone has a step by step process I can give the co-woker that would be great. I did not want them to just start deleting registry entries. Thanks in advance.
