This is a bit tough. The "right-click" popups are called Context Menus, so you're looking for a context menu handler registry entry. However, I'm running NAV-Corporate on my PC here, and none of the registry keys the article discussed exist on my PC, yet the context menu entry does.

Looking closer at the article's fine print, I see that it's relevant to NAV 4.0 and 5.0, with a publication date in 1997, modified in Sep 1998.

Our current NAV version is 7.0. Obviously, Symantec changed something somewhere - we just have to find it.

<opinionated rant>
In my experience, Norton software tends to be nearly as much trouble as the problems it ostensibly prevents. It winds up self-defeating, and too hip for the room. For example, NAV is written to be purposely obscure - thus preventing viruses from disabling it. Okay ... but when I have a legit support issue (like this one), that same obscurity prevents me from FIXING it. Peter Norton and crowd have been doing this for a decade or more.
