START right mouse entries

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

A program I installed (I think Acronis privacy suite) has added some entries
on my to my "START" right click menu and they appear as empty lines. I
would therefore like to remove them. There does not seem to be a way to do
this through the Acronis settings.

Where can I find these added shortcuts so I can delete them? (XP Home)

Thanks.

Jeff

An easy way is with the free ShellExView program:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

This will show you shell integration; you just want to remove the
right-click menu context items you don't want to show up.
