^^ No. Its similar as it opens "Desktop Properties" at Desktop. We can't assign functionality to these new options. These extra options use the default value.

If you right-click on a blank area in My Computer and select "Display Settings" you will get the System Properties page as per the Control Panel Applet.

Is this possible to fix?

No, that only disables it.

I went into Menu 218 and deleted the correct menu item and ta-da - it's no longer there!

Check it out - you may want to add this as an optional third step.

^^ Try this but I'm not sure whether it'll work or not:

Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz

In right-side pane, create new DWORD value "NoRun" and set its value to 1

Okay - I got it to work and everything seems to be in order...

Question: How do I get rid of "Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard" off the "Sort By" Menu?

Is it a Registry Entry? Seems silly to have it there when I disabled it long ago...

Thanks!

^^ Thats strange. The above hack has nothing to do with the Search thing. It should be just a co-incidence.

VG,

What's up bro?

I tried this out and it worked great - I even omitted "Personalize" and "Gadgets" options and just left "Display Settings"...

There is one problem that needs to come to your attention:

This somehow "broke" seach - the puppy.

I had to do a system restore to fix.

Is there any way around this?

What did I do wrong?

I've replaced scripts as per tutorial, the modified one shows in resource hack but when I attempt to right click an empty space in a folder the default XP one comes up?
