Delete has disappeared
Elderly W7 with Office, has worked well, although lightly loaded, for the past 5-6 years.
Since downloading PrivaZer recently (that might be a co-incidence) when I right click on a file or photo I don't get the usual menu that includes 'Set as desktop background' and 'Delete' t5ogether with others. There has been all the usual W automatic updates. Is there a way of bringing 'delete' back? I also installed PrivaZ|er on my other W7 pc at about the same time and it works fine. I think that PrivaZer made a Restore Point before it began downloading/installing. A quick word of advice about restoring the pc before this restore point (if that is what you recommend) would be a help. If I did this, would the PrivaZer prog simply disappear into thin air? Is this a known risk? |

I know nothing about Privazer or any known issues.
"Cleaners" are generally not recommended around here, with the exception of CCleaner--and most people would tell you not to use the registry cleaning section of CCleaner. Using a restore point often works, but if your goal is to get rid of Privazer, why not just uninstall it? |

Suggest: Restore your registry backup.
Or open backups folder and inspect (right click files and open with text editor) to see what was deleted. Maybe read this for next time: PrivaZer PC cleaner |

Thanks for the advice.
I am well out of my depth here. I saw this cleaner in a magazine article and thought that the pc, being a few years old, would benefit from the equivalent of a squirt of bleach down the toilet. The loss of 'delete' might not be due to this: is there a way to check on it in any way? |

Zip your PrivaZer registry backups folder and upload it here. We will take a look at the deleted registry entries.

RE: "Set as desktop background" missing when right clicking on image files.
Take a look at Brink's tutorial here: "Set as desktop background" - Add or Remove in Windows Download the file in Step 1 and merge it with registry. I've checked - the entries are the same in Windows 7. Then do Steps 3,4,5,& 6 Reboot. |

Thanks for the help, but as I said, I am out of my depth.
Various other problems have recently arisen on this 6-year old pc so I am going to pension it off. Thanks again |

Delete key non-responsive, doesn't delete Hi, for some reason I can no longer use the Delete key to move files to the recycle bin, delete text, et cetera.
