Hello Smiley,
Ive tried what you said and been successful.
Was wondering if you tell me how to open up my internet explorer b browser with the selected item from the context management system.
I tried this but doesn't work
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.Click
Process.Start(Me.ContextMenuStrip1.Text.ToString)
End Sub

Do you mean you want to search the item in internet explorer? Or is the item a URL that you want to navigate to in Internet Explorer?

Whoa omg; i must have been out of my mind goofy; idoit; the code i gave you was way off.
Delete the whole ContextMenuStrip1.Click Event and paste this event in it's place
Code: Select all Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_ItemClicked(sender As Object, e As ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.ItemClicked
Process.Start("iexplore.exe", e.ClickedItem.Text)
End Sub
Sorry about that i dunno what i was thinking dunnno; cooll;
