Removing Items in Right-Click menu related to application?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the speedy reply. I actually have both of those programs and I'm still not able to locate this particular key. Is it possible that is simply does not exist?

When I right or left click on the label "napiprojekt" I simply get an error stating that the application does not exist. I've manually searched for the key and I've used both the ShellMenuView and ShellExMenuView programs and still no luck in locating this annoyance.

Whew! After a couple hours of searching, I finally found where that lil devil was infesting my registry. It was nicely tucked away in HKR\.txtfile folder.

I HATE it when applications hide their keys. Too bad there wasn't a program around that tracked the installation of all files, keys, folders etc. of any application being installed. That way when you want to uninstall, you could simply call that application and delete everything in one go and not worry about crap files being left behind lol.

Anyways, thanks for the help!

and congratulations.

I did see where this "napiprojekt" was considered malware in my searches, and I suspect that is why it hid itself so well.

In fact now you mention it, there is a utility that keeps a record of all changes, specifically registry and system files, and that is Windows' own System Restore. I have used it on a number of occasions to 'recover from an incident', but it does depend on a couple of factors;

1] We create a Restore Point before making any changes, installing software etc. Not something I can claim to do every time, and

2] The offending software tells us beforehand that it is going to install. Malware tries to get around that in various ways and will sometimes succeed.

Good work, and congratulations.

Mark
