I installed the Konfabulator! (Yahoo) to fiddle around with their widgets. The thing was pathetic. You have to download a new widget for every RSS feed you want. Then there was the analog clock where you had the choice of making the second's hand visible/invisible(??!!). And then Yahoo proceeded to add useless shortcuts to my right-click menu. WTF? I right-click on an email-link and I see Yahoo Maps! ... how does that make any sense? Just like popups and flashy ads are obsolete, so also is putting crap on the users short-cut menu without authorization. Anyway I found a way to take that shit out...
regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > MenuExt
and delete the offending folders. If you are using any other browser, I suspect that you will see corresponding folders in "Software". Don't go screwing around with the registry if you don't know what you are doing.
Go here if you want to know more about customizing your right-click menu.
