hello,
is it possible to remove the entry for spybot search&destroy in the context menu of files to delete them safety? I just want it to work as scanner but not as file eraser. Also, when I double click a file with the file extension .tpl to open it, I'm always promped, if I want to delete the file ... that's not good for me.
second question: is there a complete portable scan/immunize-version of SS&d?
thanks so far!

Hello,
To disable the single files scan please open the registry editor by:
(a)
press windowskey + r then enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)
or
(b)
click on "start" , then "run" and enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)
(a+b)
and then browse to the following path.
Please delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sdfiles
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\sdfiles
Best regards

first, thnaks for your reply.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\sdfiles does not exist (there's nothing related to spybot s&d in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\* at all), and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sdfiles doesn't exist either, but there's something in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sddelfiles:
""C:\Programme\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDDelFile.exe" "%1" /ask".
should I delete this one?

sorrys, but I cannot edit this post, so I'm replying:
I renamed "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sddelfiles" to ""HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sddelfiles_old" but after windows reboot, the entry (and so the context menu entry) comes back ... :(
