Does anyone know? I've looked through the entries in ContextEdit and
via the filetypes way but can't see where this command originates from
that appears in the context menu when we right-click on any filetype.
It isn't showing up in the usual spots. thx

Do you mean how do you enable or disable it?If so its shell extension
component in AVG main face.If its enabled there and not showing in
explorer then it maybe worth trying a "repair installation" that will
put back in the relevant registry settings.When you try to uninstall AVG
it should present you with the option of uninstalling or repairing
.Choose repair.It does this in the pro version so im assuming it will do
the same for the free.

No, but thanks for this info. I know how to disable and enable the
shell extension via the option in the control center. I need to know
where the entry is.

I ended up looking for and signing on to the AVG forum and the answer
is that it's a registry entry. Unfortunately, I don't know how to
edit that type of registry entry to include and icon (the reason I
needed to know this). I keep hitting the "AVG anti-spyware" context
entry all the time because it has an icon where the av one doesn't.

Still researching this.

Thanks.

Heres grisoft reply...

Please let us inform you, that right now this option is not available.
But we have already reported similar requirement from another users.

We have passed all necessary information to our development department
and it is possible that this feature will be available in one of the next
program version of AVG.

Thank you for your cooperation, it is highly appreciated.

Best regards,
