Is ther a way to remove the annoying right-click context menu Item created by Norton Ghost 15.

I have yet to discover any use for this annoying context menu item and would like to remove it.

I have searched for the 'show versions' text using both Regedit and Regseeker and have been unable to locate a regsitry key for the item and it is apparently somehow hidden.  

I hate it when software adds context items without giving you a choice if you want it added.

Thanks

This appently does not work for me either. Click it, nothing happens.

EDIT: I found a way to get rid of it.

Download File Menu Tools from http://www.lopesoft.com/en/.

Run the program and choose Commands of other applications.

Find and uncheck All file types \ V2iContextMenu Class and Folder \ V2iContextMenu Class

Hit the green checkmark. Done Gone for me!

OR

Backup, then delete these 4 registry keys...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{0BCE32B2-DA1B-41D7-A71F-C02A7D633CE5}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\{0BCE32B2-DA1B-41D7-A71F-C02A7D633CE5}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{0BCE32B2-DA1B-41D7-A71F-C02A7D633CE5}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\{0BCE32B2-DA1B-41D7-A71F-C02A7D633CE5}

Hi jxl0928,

The 'show versions' context menu is only meaningful if you do file and folder backups. If you do only image backups (which is what I do) then it has no meaning at all.

Best wishes.

Thanks Allen. I guess that's why it doesn't work for me. I only use Ghost for imaging the whole drive.

Hi Red,

Not to worry, I do only image backups as well. The only reason I know what that context menu choice is for is because I *test* F&F backups so I can be able to answer questions on the forum here.

Even testing F&F backup is quite painful I might add.

Best wishes.
