    Desktop Context Menu editing - How?

    When I right click on a desktop file/folder to bring up the context menu (which normally has: Open, Explore, Search, Add To Archive, Send To, etc) I have the name "File Target (copy)" mentioned in there. This was an app I had installed some time ago but has since been deinstalled. Apparently it has left its name in my context menu. It appears as a menu heading for a submenu.

    How do i go about removing this listing? I've already tried installing/deinstalling the app but it still doesnt remove the entry. My guess is i've got to go into the registry/folder of where windows creates this Context Menu and manually remove it.

    Thanks.

    You can try cleaning the registry see if it finds the dead string, do a search at google for jv16 power tools, regcleaner and regclean and run them all see if it helps.

    Do a registry search for "File Target (copy)" and delete the key
