This may be off topic here and if so sorry.

I am looking for a program that might be able to search for and remove
entries in the registry such as all the entries that are collecting in
the context menu when I right click on the Windows XP classic Start
menu button such as Scan with AVG, etc.

Some of the ones there I was able to remove from within the progs that
put them there but others I was not.

Thanks much.

See replies to your same query that you MULTI-posted over in the
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general newsgroup. Besides MMM mentioned by
another respondent, there is also Nirsoft's utilities that I mentioned
there. However, I'm not sure you have the expertise to be using a UI
interface in the form of a utility program that is modifying your
registry. First go check the options in your various programs to see if
there is one to disable adding that program's extensions to Windows
Explorer.
