ugh IE help.

My brother downloaded a flash game. This flash game, messed up the right-click menu so that it shows:

Back
forward
-------
...etc
-------
...etc
-------
Free porn galleries
-------
...etc

It's not exactly like that but you get the picture right?

So, I want to take that out, is there anyway to fix this?

Windows ME
IE v6

#1, hurt or kill your brother
#2, reload your operating system

 

[Trov]

By reload, do you mean deletion of over half my harddrive? If so, then I'll execute my brother.

There has to be a way, other than that.

you can reinstall windows with out deleting your files than its best to reinstal everything for stablity

I'd say that you should search your control panel for installed components and try to see if something looks out of the ordinary, Many a time, I install new hardware and find a new category that I can select in my "Right-Click" menu, try doing that first

 

[[DC]_MAKER]

yea go to add and remove programs if that doesnt work than you might need to reinstall windows

 

[Trov]

Did that Bryggz. Can't seem to find anything out of the ordinary. ARRRGH It bugs me, and my mom wants to use the computer too. I had to stall and say it was defragging! Heeeelp.

I know you can change what is in the right click menu through editing your registry, but the problem is if you don't know what you are doing with it then you are screwed...

but if you do, then run regedit, and you should find the non-standard Right Click options for Internet Explorer can be found under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt
just find the offending key and delete it...

for information(it's where I got mine)
but be DAMN careful, messing with your registry can mess things up pretty bad if you do not know what you are doing.

Miroku, thanks alot. It's off now.

 

[Deman]

you are welcome man. It's nice to know you took care of it instead of asking me to help you learn to use regedit, that's a pain to do...
