Right click menu

[philippe]

Hey.. it's my first thread here

There's something happen to my apple. When I right click on desktop, there's an option called NoteTaker > Clip to notebook etc etc.. and then when i click on it, it brings me to relocate the software. I guess it comes from the notetaker software, but maybe i have deleted it already. Is there anyway to delete the option when I right click it?

Hi philippe & welcome to the Forums!

Have a look in these two locations:

1. Macintosh HD -> Library -> Contextual Menu Items

2. YourUserAccount -> Library -> Contextual Menu Items

If you find anything named NoteTaker, remove it to the Trash, but don't empty it. Log out/in and see if the right click has been fixed. If so then it's safe to delete the Trash.

Thank you Pulse-8! It works!!

I just switched to Mac a month ago, so i'm a newbie in this Mac thing. Have been using Windows for more than 10 years. And now I'm happy that I switched.

I actually was gonna do System Restore to solve the problem like in Windows. But I couldn't find it hehe.. Is there such thing exist for Mac? just wondering...

Thanks again Pulse, you rock! :headphone

I just noticed you're from Sydney philippe, it's great to have another aussie onboard! I lived in Sydney for 20 yrs but I bet I wouldn't recognise it these days ...

Yeah, Tiger doesn't have anything like Sys Restore at present but the next OS; Leopard, is due out any month now ... and will have a feature called Time Machine which you can check out a video preview of it here.

Thanks for your quick response mate. Where do ya live now? I actually just moved to Sydney a few months ago. I'm originally from Perth.

I saw about the Time Machine, but I guess it's more for restoring a file. But the System Restore will restore the whole system and preferences. Not pretty sure about it thought.. maybe should wait until Leopard comes out

Perth!?!! My family's in Perth! Leeming, actually. haven't been home in about 9 years. I bet it's changed. but business is growing in Melbourne and sydney like wildfire, so i'll be able to fly back under for some great visits. i actually miss vegamite... (and i'd kill for some decent roo or emu)

oh yeah.. perth has changed a lot. they're building a new underground train in the city, expected to finish in the end of 2007. I really want to see it when it's done
