ah, yes very good plan... disabling start center from within preferences. and don't you know i've done that before. but i'm guessing that with each upgrade, they revert back to their preferred default, which is, of course, plastering their icon all over my desktop thank you, gottfried :) mark

How do I remove the Windows Start Button Right-Click Menu Item, "Scan with Norton AntiVirus"? Background: Some programs such as Winamp add shortcuts which can only be removed by editing registry as described below, but I cannot find entry for "Scan with Norton AntiVirus" using registry editor's [FIND] function. Sign me "Stumped". >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 0509 » How can I remove items from a right click of the button? Use Regedt32.exe to edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Directory\Shell or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell Double Click Shell and delete any of these sub-keys like DOS Here and Find. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Folder\Shell or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell Double Click Shell and delete any of these sub-keys like root explore, open, explore, etc.. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< jsiinc.com P.S. Unlike your story about Real, I admit I have not looked in the Norton program for help because it would be uncharacteristic of Symantec to be so obvious.

mr mark, we should keep mitch-c in mind for tough questions. He says that's his day job. Yep - but I'm more of a glorified amateur. Besides, since I have that day job, my response time might not be the best. Currently I'm #2 of a 2.5-person IT department, serving 100 people. When tough stuff like this rolls downhill, I'm usually the valley. <g> However, 6+ years of keeping the critters running and 5/6 of an MCSE doesn't hurt ... Think of me more as a paramedic or a GP than a specialist in "internal (windows) medicine." - Mitch
