Re: Right click icon problem

Use ShellExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) and see if that entry is listed. If not, and the context menu handler is only shown when right-clicking a shortcut (.lnk file), take a look at this Registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shell (if it exists).
