Default Opening and Printing mutliple files

Because there is no setting. It caused by a context menu extension. =
Though I've been unable to replicate the problem on SP-1. I did a survey =
on a related problem with anyone who had posted a similar question =
(ever). The sample was only about 10 (I searched all posts last 20 years =
and emailed them). What I found was no common programs in common, =
therefore it seems it may be a common programmers mistake.

Type Regedit in Start Run
Goto

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\Con textMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHan dlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandler s
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandle rs

Export all five keys (on the File Menu) (First two keys apply to files, =
1st, 3rd to 5th apply to folders/drives). Delete all two/five. What =
happens.

I had done this before successfully.. But forgot how. I had tried =

finding
all the files in windows explorer. Then, I would select them all. =

Then, I
would right-click and choose OPEN or choose PRINT.

When I do that now, NOTHING HAPPENS. They do NOT open in MSWord. =

They do
NOT print to my HPDeskjet.
