Go to Start > Run, type Regedit, and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MenuExt

Under MenuExt you will see subfolders named for the menu entries in question.
Click one of them and look in the right pane.

Incidentally, you'll see that the default value points to a htm file.
Rightclick the one representing the menu entry you wish to remove, and choose Delete from the menu.

NOTE: Before editing the Registry, ALWAYS back it up, export the key you're going to edit, or
alternatively, in the case of Win ME or XP, create a Restore Point.

However, you may well have more than just these obnoxious context menu entries. They could be the
tip of a rather large iceberg.

Please do the following:
Download Spybot - Search & Destroy: http://www.tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/
It detects and removes all kinds of spyware, dialers, hijackers, and related nasties.

After installing, press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates.

Now close all browser windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds.
