Default Re: Problem deleting Poker Shortcuts

[ QUOTE ]
I am having trouble deleting poker shortcuts that when I installed the software showed up under the IE - Tools tab. Right above Internet Options I have 5 Poker programs that I no longer use that still have short cuts there. I have unintstalled the programs but the shortcuts are still there.
If anyone knows how to delete them please let me know.

Thanks.

These shortcuts are stored in the registry. Open the registry (start > run > regedit > ok), then navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\

In this folder are the subfolders which contain the shortcuts. The folder names won't mean anything to you (random numbers, letters , and dashes). To see which folder belongs to which shortcut, click on the folder, and look at the "MenuText" field in the right pane. To remove a shortcut, simply delete the folder. Then restart IE, and you're good to go.
