Issues of proton decay are examined in supersymmetric standard model withU(1) flavor symmetry. Dimension five proton-decay operators which arisegenerically are controlled by the flavor symmetry. We show that unlike theminimal supersymmetric SU(5) case the proton decay modes containing chargedlepton can have large branching ratios if the dimension five operators ofleft-handed type dominate. Measuring the branching ratio of the electron modeto the muon mode may reveal the mechanism of the neutrino mass generation. Thecase with vanishing charges for Higgs doublets marginally survives the presentexperimental bound on proton life time.Comment: Reference added and typos correcte
