      Well I am trying to limit the number of plugins that access the context menu. I have found -Sketchy Bevel, as a choice in the context menu. I don't have the plugin Sketchy Bevel in my plugin list. I thought maybe it was running from Round Corners, but when I disable this plugin, I still have the selection in the context menu -Sketchy Bevel.

      Anyone know where this plugin is hiding?

      Thanks in advance

        The ruby is called SketchyBevel.rb
        It must be loading if you get a 'Bevel' item in your context-menu.
        I find 'Bevel' but not 'Sketchy Bevel' !
        There might be an older rb version with another name ??
        Note Fredo's RoundCorner does the same stuff and more; so disabling it shouldn't cause hardship...

        The trick I use to find what is loading a particular menu is to look for the menu's text in all of the files in my Plugins folder/sub-folders - normal Vista Search doesn't look inside rb files [and encrypted rb or rbs aren't readable in any case...] but I use a copy of free ' baregrep.exe' and search the Plugins folder-path [copied as text], for *.rb files containing say 'Bevel' - it should then show the possible culprit file[s]...

          Plugins are also loaded from the Tools folder, which is up a level from Plugins.

          The image shows the default files shipped with SU 7.

            As Jim says the Tools folder will have a few scripts in too - but once you've eliminated them from the list of suspects then the Plugins folder is the main source of discontent...

              TIG and Jim

              Well I found the script. It is in the "cd_power_extension_m.rb", lines 200 and 212, however, this script is encrypted. I like some of the menu choice in the Power Tool bar, so I guess I will need to live with it. However, I don't like all the choices, so maybe I will get rid of this script sometime in the future.

              On another note, TIG, thanks for the program to search for text, it works well. And yes, I have Vista, and was wondering why I couldn't find the text in the script with a search. Pray tell what good is Vista search?

              And to Jim, will, I looked in the Tools directory and found more that I wanted to. Found another 5 programs/scripts that were not listed as your original lists. So I changed their extension. Now I will find out if any are really needed. yaml.rb, syck.so, rational.rb, date.rb and 3SkengltExtension.rb. I know what the last one is used for, however, I have decided that I don't need this script, so I won't be loading it again.

              To all thanks for the help.
