appro, i submitted your inquiry to the symantec service and support message boards. servicenews.symantec.com; they usually provide next business day responses, however, with the labor day holiday, that means tuesday sometime. we'll see what they say. wouldn't you love it if they submitted a top 10 list of reasons you should not want to do that? <g3> :) mark

hey appro well, i told you that i submitted your question to symantec ( #reply-14320835 ) .... i'm pleased to say that they have already responded, despite the long holiday weekend. here is a copy of the email i received: ******************************* "Hi Mark, Thank you for posting to our online technical support discussion group. Here is a document that addresses your issue: Title: 'How to Remove "Scan with Norton AntiVirus" from Shortcut Menus' Document ID: 19971113153937 Web URL: service1.symantec.com If you cannot click on the above link, copy and paste it into the address line of your Browser. Should you have further questions, don't hesitate to post. Ira Klein Symantec Online Technical Support" ************************************ looks like they give you two options, appro. both involve registry edits. one allows you to put the selection back if you change your mind. good luck, and have fun without that horrible 'scan with norton antivirus' selection!! <g3> :) mark
