Hi all

Is there a way to remove the shell integration of Spybot? I don't like seeing the "Scan using S&D" menu item everywhere.

Thanks

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

Great. Thanks for the answer. It might be nice to have a setting for this in a future Spybot version.

The setting is a choice during installation ;)

But there's also a feature request (http://forums.spybot.info/project.php?issueid=344) for addition/removal at any time.
