Broke Context Menu
Greetings-
WinXP Pro SP1; The context menu on my PC is different than a supposedly identical image. First, the top item is Explore, but it is bolded for some reason. Next, when I go to add an item to the context menu ("command prompt here" Power Toy, for example) it ends up on the top of the menu, and now it is the bolded item. In this instance, when I go into Explorer and double-click on a folder, it opens the Command Prompt. When a coworker installed the same thing, the option on the context menu on his PC showed up somewhere down the list. Please help. Thanx OregonSteve |

Hi Steve,
Simple fix. ) Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32 If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit: Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done. -- All the Best, Kelly MS-MVP Win98/XP [AE-Windows® XP] Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm "OregonSteve" wrote in message ...
