Removing Keys did not work

I removed the keys for Spybot but after a reboot, it's still showing in the
right-click menu. How are things on the right-click menu removed for GOOD?
Apparently removing their keys are not the answer and there are several
other useless items there I want to remove.

I'll be away until Sunday afternoon and will look for your replies then. I
may not have time in the morning to check back here.

I think you probably have me in your killfile so you may not see this post.
Maybe someone else will cut/paste the relevant info and post it to you.

I decided to install Spybot so that I could find the registry keys
that were responsible for your problem. The latest version 1.6.2
does not install any right-click context menus but I found this buried
in the help file:

If you want to completely get rid of Spybot-S&D 1.4 (also earlier versions)
and the Add/Remove doesn't help, you can delete the installation folder
(usually C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\), then download this
very small fix by right clicking and saving it, then execute it
(important! - this will remove all remains from the registry).

It's a small reg file that needs double-clicking to run or
right-click and select 'Merge'.
