R-click menu question

When I go Start | My Computer | Local Disk (C:) , when I right-click on the
last, a menu comes up asking (among other things) if I want to "Scan
Directory with eTrust PestPatrol." I don't have PestPatrol on my computer
anymore, and a search of my computer and registry shows no evidence of it
either.

How do I remove that menu choice?

(Trivial problem I know, but I'd really like to know how to deal with it.)

Thanks!

Don't apologize for wanting your computer to be perfect! I like mine to
behave properly, too. ;-)

Apparently the context menu item for PestPatrol is still hanging around.
The easiest way to get rid of it is with the free ShellExView program.
Find the context menu item for PestPatrol and nuke it.

Thanks very much. I downloaded the program, did a search for pestpatrol,
pest, patrol, local disk, scan , but I couldn't find anything that looked
promising. I saw all the things marked context menu, but nothing looked
related. Did I miss doing something obvious?
