Configuring Right-Click search...

Postby Cactus » Fri Mar 05, 2004 1:28 am

I'm running Win98 SE,Internet Explorer 6,when I right click a link on a webpage it gives me the options to Search : Yahoo! Search and Yahoo! Dictionary.

I've removed all instances of Yahoo that I could find but it still appears when you Right-Click a link or hi-lite a word.

This is a EI5 add-on I think.
How do I configure the SEARCH ENGINE?
Can I do this in REGEDIT?

Ok I ran CWShredder but came back clean.Ran SpyBot again...nothing.
Re-Booted browser,then re-booted pc but right clicking still shows Yahoo! Search and Yahoo Dictionary????

Will these values not be in REGEDIT somewhere?

It looks like TweakUI might allow you to change the default Search engine. See this link.

Thanks Ranger Bob,I have TweakUI and you can do that.I do I use Google as my Default Search Engine.

I had already fixed that right away but could not remove the Right-Click search option.
But I got it!
Thanks!
