As some of you may know I absolutely hate the way Microsoft have to stick "my" onto everything (it sounds patronising - the idiot who thought of the idea and that it would make it somehow "friendly" to users ought to be hung drawn and quatered).

In IE6, when you right click on an image, you get a menu that pops up with various options. I know some of the options can be removed/added by adding various software (e.g. Flashget adds download with Flashget etc), but how do you remove the "Go to my pictures" crap as detailed in the screenshot below. I want to get rid of it in whichver way possible, without changing browser or OS.

OK so I do not use Windows XP at the moment but I am considering upgrading the IE on Windows 2000 to IE6, which as I know from past experience has all the "my" crap attached to the right click image menu and/or upgrading to Windows XP.

Thanks

And I just hope future releases of Microsoft's software don't have "my" infront of all the features!
