I can’t seem to locate the setting to remove Comodo from my file manager’s right-click menu (Windows XP). Thanks.

[Edit]
Could I also ask where the settings for “Add [button] to the Taskbar” are? Thanks again.

Hi semicodin,

  1. See the link below.
    How can i remove/restore the “Scan with Comodo Antivirus” Context-Menu

  2. Right-click on the task you wish to add then click the message ‘Add to Task Bar’.

Kind regards.

►It is there.

Hi semicodin,
Did you copy the command exactly and run as admin?

I can’t test this on XP, but I just tested this on Windows 10 with the latest CIS with no issues.

Alternative: You could install CCleaner and disable context menu items found under tools.

Kind regards.

If you would like to unregister this and remove it from the right click context-menu type the following
[b] __________ [/b]First, I'm sorry but I just have to say this:

Most people whose native alphabet is Latin based read linnearly: left-to-right; from the top down. You’re directing people to a web page where their first impulse is to skip the question: They know what it is they’re trying to modify; they want your suite, along with Comodo’s space-hogging icons off their already-crowded shell menu. Even I skipped over the 80% of the instructions dedicated to adding your 2 entries and proceeded to the second line of bolded text, If you would like to unregister.

Setting aside for a minute the inexplicable reverse logic that induces Comodo to dedicate 80% of the code-specific data on this page to repairing a setting that already installs by Default while consigning its :-La Exception to a sentence in very bad need of 2 more nouns and the courtesy of a fixed-width font, yes: I manually typed in the string from within an Administrator-privileged “Run As”, and no, it did not work.

Can there be any legitimate reason for suffering users – most of whom are not touch typists and none of whom should be expected to accurately replicate a DOS command the author uncharitably posted in a variable-width typeface – to engage DOS . . . just to get your icons off their shell menu? Most of these people haven’t ever seen a DOS window!

Comodo can do better. If they won’t give the user a preference setting within the GUI itself then for pity’s sake reign in your icons. I’m on a desktop with a widescreen monitor and they’re too big. I can’t imagine what it must be like for someone on their laptop.

Hi semicodin,
I have added that the commands can be copy and pasted.

Maybe what you are asking (The ability to enable/disable the right click context menu items via the GUI) is suitable for the wishlist.

Thanks.

I will contribute to the Wishlist. You can’t paste in a DOS environment. Are you being facetious?

Forgive, but if you insist on using an old version of Windows, lost newer features become your loss.
Windows 7+ you can so copy/paste to a DOS Window/environment.
Don’t complain about operational methods when you prefer to use an OS older than 10yrs, and no longer supported (MS has made that clear).
Upgrade!

Hi semicodin,
Thanks.

In the command window, right click the title bar and select paste from under edit. See the external link below. http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_paste_into_a_windows_xp_command_shell.html

Thank you.

Not everybody may be familiar with this as you stated a bit further down. You’re contradicting yourself

they want your suite, along with Comodo’s space-hogging icons off their already-crowded shell menu.
That’s your first count of being condescending.
Even I skipped over the 80% of the instructions dedicated to adding your 2 entries and proceeded to the second line of bolded text, If you would like to unregister.
And a second count.

Setting aside for a minute the inexplicable reverse logic that induces Comodo to dedicate 80% of the code-specific data on this page to repairing a setting that [i]already installs by Default[/i] while consigning its :-La [i]Exception[/i] to a sentence in very bad need of 2 more nouns and [b]the courtesy of a fixed-width font[/b], yes:
That's an irrelevant show off that most users will neither care about nor will they understand what you're trying to say.

For the record. Forum moderators are not employees of Comodo. We are end users like yourself who happen to wear a badge.

I manually typed in the string from within an Administrator-privileged "Run As", and no, it did not work.
I fired up the XP installation of my old netbook and could successfully register and unregister Scan with CAV from the context menu.

There may be something wrong with your system.

Youtube is full of useful videos. Really, you should try it one day. It's fascinating.

When I just was on XP I noticed that the icon in the context menu has the same as other icons like that of Super Antispyware. Are you by any instance a tool like Windows Blinds to change the look of your Windows XP?

Also the fact that you cannot run the regsrvr commande from the Run box leads me to believe there may be some problem with your system.

You can do better too by moderating your tone to be less abrasive and condescending. Your posts are a chore to read because of a needless vinegar pissing attitude (as we would say in Dutch) which is often and needlessly mixed with unrelated interjections that are only there for theatrical effect and fail to be on topic.
