Before you edit the registry, back it up.\n\nAfter you use the Add/Remove program in the Control Panel, you need to open Windows Explorer and find the folder under Programs called Symantec and delete it.  Also, you have to edit the registy.  Click start, run, and typed regedit and press enter.  This opens the registry.  Expand the hive for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and expand it, under software find the folder for Symantec and remove it there.  Also the Hive for HKEY_CURRENT_USER find the Software folder and remove Symantec there also.

To make this a bit less annoying, first off, instead of rebooting, try Ctrl + Alt + Del to access the task manager, then end the explorer.exe, if listed.  Then go to File - New Task (Run) and type 'explorer.exe' and hit enter to get everything running again, hopefully.  At least until you try to right-click again.  This should help hold you over.\n\nGo to Start - Run and type sfc.exe /scannow ---then hit Enter.\n\nAlso click here to download a registry patch that will disable the right-click function of XP.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenuundo.reg\n\n(I believe that you would have to reboot the computer for this to apply, but I would try first without rebooting)\n\nThen click here to reenable it.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenu.reg\n\nI thought this would be much easier than editing the registry.  Hope this works for you, it has for others.  Good luck.

Win Registry\nStarting with Windows 95, the Registry is a database that holds configuration data about the hardware and environment of the PC. It is made up of the SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT files.\n\nThe Registry can be edited directly, but that is usually only done for very technical enhancements or as a last resort. Routine access is done via the Windows control panels through the Properties option. Right clicking on almost every icon in Windows brings you the option of selecting Properties. See Win Properties.\n\nRegistry Details\nTo get into the Registry itself, run the Registry Editor program (REGEDIT.EXE) from the Run command in the Start menu. The Registry contains five folders. In Windows 95/98, there is a sixth folder.\n\n\nHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\n\nContains file associations and OLE information. It shows exactly the same thing as the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;Software&#92;Classes.\n\nhttp://www.answers.com/HKEY%20
