Continued from a closed thread... 'E-mail with Yahoo!' is one that has
decided to add itself and using all the references I can find here
about context menus, none point to a Yahoo reference in the registry.

Has anyone had this before or able to point me where to have this
removed?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Widemonk, welcome to the vista forums,arty

you may want to have a look at this

'Download Context Menu Editor 1.0 - Remove items from the right-clic
menu - Softpedia
(http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/...u-Editor.shtml

which will allow you to prune the right click men

all I would add is with anything of this nature be sure you really wan
to remove an item before you actually go ahead ;

Hello WideMonk,

If you could edit your post and post the link to the closed thread, it
would be easier for others to know the history of what was already
tried. :geek:


You might see if using the free program ShellExView to look for
"Context Menu" entries under the "Type" column to see if you can spot
the Yahoo context menu item. If you find it, you can disable it to test
and see if that was it or not. Once you find it, you can delete it or
just leave it disabled.

'ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows'

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Didnt work the first few times, but remembering something else I saw
recently, right-click on the .exe and 'run as administrator' (even
though I am the only user profile and am the administrator anyway),
worked fine

Thank you very much.

As you can see... now edited (although still a little puzzled why the
original topic was closed anyway).

Your welcome Widemonk.

In the newsgroup sections only, all posts that have been inactive for
60 days are automatically closed to prevent them from being hijacked by
other posters and itgoing off topic from the original post. Since the
newsgroups are mirrored and not actually Vista Forums, we cannot edit
them as easily within Vista Forums. We have full control over our
forums, so this is not a issue in them.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
