Even though you will use a third-party program, the absolutely easiest way to control context menu entries is with the free ShellExView program by Nirsoft. You don't need to install ShellExView - just run it. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html Also see: Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace objects - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
