The key you mention is this one:

------REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a}]
"MenuText"="@shdoclc.dll,-864@1033,Show &Related Links"
"MenuStatusBar"="@shdoclc.dll,-865@1033,Shows links related to the current page."
"Script"=hex(2):43,3a,5c,57,49,4e,44,4f,57,53,5c,77,65,62,5c,72,65,6c,61,74,65,\
64,2e,68,74,6d,00
"clsid"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11D2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}"
"Icon"=",4"
"HotIcon"=",4"
"ButtonText"="@shdoclc.dll,-866@1033,Related"
------

The info from the (") on, are the values that will show in the right hand pane when the CSLID string is highlighted (the long number). This key (from the number on) is the Alexa entries that power "Show Related Links"... I still don't think they are a problem... and Alexa won't be engaged until you use their features.

But if you wanted all traces removed... yes, highlight the number and "Delete" it. That will also remove "Show Related Links" from the Graphic User Interface of IE.

The BHO key I was refering to is the 'other' key, that was flagged by the 10-28 reflist.

Here's mine:
-------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Browser Helper Objects]

-------

Note: There are no quotes ( " ) after the Objects bracket... that means there is no value for this key. It's just sitting there waiting for one.

Now late yesterday, as I mentioned... I fussed around with my copy of Adobe Acrobat 4... It does not need anything in that key.

In other words, if folks ran the reflist of 10-28 and were worried about Acrobat... I know version 4 doesn't care. Mine has not had it, that I am aware of... I've been watching these keys for some time... since some of these issues starting rolling around the net.

The browser plug-in for Acrobat... allows .pdf files clicked on the net to open in IE with Adobe tool bars. The Reader uses it's own GUI. And can be launched from a shortcut to access saved .pdf's.

I've flagged Mowergun in another post, 'cause I think he wants his entries back.

It looks to me like you want your's gone. Or at least the first Alexa key.

If this dosen't clear it up... let me know.
