Ok, let me explain

My intention is to use a 3th party program to navigate in the folders,  copy and move files, etc.. So, in File Types, I defined a new option "Open with Explorer2" with the path of the new program and I established it as default. I do this both in "Folder" and in "Folder of files" (my Win is in spanish, "Carpeta" and "Carpeta de archivos"). Also I created HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command   with c:\Explorer2\Explorer2 "%1" as default value.

This way, when I opened a folder, a window of Explorer2 was showed  instead of normal explorer of Windows.

When I discovered the trouble I erased that new options and I reestablished their exactly original values.  But something was bad.

Now my windows is "Almost" fine,  if I click in a folder then a explorer's window is opened, also if I use "right-click -> Open" all works well... EXCEPT if I try it in a menu folder. In a menu folder nothing happens, simply ignore Open, Open all users, Explore and Explore all users.

The only way is using Right-click -> Open in the Start button and then navigate starting from there... but I have many menus and sub-menus so this is not the best option to work.

The other machine that I mention is just another computer with WinXP in which I never tried to install Explorer2, and his menus works fine,  then I am using it to compare registry values and to try to find the problem.

Hi guestolo!

Thanks for your suggestion.

I already checked both keys that you indicate, ther is not a
"NoViewContextMenu" value in the machine with troubles neither in the machine for reference (the one that works fine).  :-(

Any other suggestion, please?

Hi everybody

I have a tricky problem, I hope you can help me.

I attempted to install a replacement for windows explorer in XP,
everything worked perfect , until I discovered that I can't use any more Right-Click -> Open/Explore with my menu folders.
Everything the rest works well, also I can use Right-Click->Open in any other place: in My PC, in any folder, in the "START" button (so open the main folder of the menu), etc.

to try to explain the problem the best that I can:
- Click in Start menu
- Right Click in Accesories
- Open  (or Explore)
** nothing happens

I already reverted all the changes that I made, but the problem persist.
I'm quite sure that is a problem with a key in the register, but I can't find it!  :-(    

I already revised  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell  and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell and all his subfolders,  they are
exactly the same compared with another WinXP instalation without this
problem.

Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks
