Move To Shell Extension - Weird Side Effect
Hi!
I've enabled the CopyTo and MoveTo Context Menu Shell Extensions with the usual registry hack (eg see http://www.windowsxpmagazine.co.uk/f...best_tips_ever section 19) but it's had an unforeseen side effect on the PCs I've tried it on. If I double-click a folder within the Start Menu itself, instead of opening that folder I get a Move-To prompt. When I click cancel, it appears again. When I click cancel a second time it opens the folder as it ought to have done initially. Is this a well-recognised phenomenon and is there a way to stop it doing this? Only the Start Menu seems affected. Thanks for any suggestions. Best wishes, Andrew |
