Ok reviving an old thread but I found this while trying to solve a relocation problem myself so if I post the solution here then hopefully others will come across it when searching for a solution too. I actually ran into the problem when running innotek VirtualBox but I trust the underlying issue is the same. The fix is also a bit of a random hack, I rebased two dlls, user32.dll and setupapi.dll as the error message I recieved refered to both of these. All I had to do was- rebase.exe -b 0x61000000 user32.dll rebase.exe -b 0x62000000 setupapi.dll and then use Replacer to put them into the system32 folder and then reboot. I had rebase.exe from a VS 2005 install but you'll no doubt find it in one of the numerous free sources of MS C++ compiler tools. Try the express edition or failing that download one of the sdks. Hope this is useful to someone.

Hi gosh, thanks for the reply. I hadn't really come across modifying shell32.dll before. Most information out there relating to it seems to be all about changing your icons but I did come across this thread on virtual plastic regarding changing the menu. I don't think something like that would scale to what I'm searching for however because a dynamic menu would be needed. My searching threw up FastFolders as another program which does something close to what I'm searching for. As best I can tell this should be possible with a shell extension, there are loads of resources out there for writing them yourself but none really explain how to deal with Shell Objects and constructing menu's dynamically from them. For making static changes to the menu I found this neat thread which describes using ContextAware.

Hi, hopefully this is not a repeat question which has been answered before but did do a search which didn't turn up anything. What I'd love to know is if there's a way to add a customizable entry on the standard desktop right-click context menu, kind of in the style of the Quick Launch or Start Menu. I generally customize the Quick Launch toolbar on my pc such as the screenshot shows. I think it would be really great if I could add it to the desktop context menu. I've already learned of a program which will do just that, Right click from stardock. But the program is a bit too pervasive for my tastes. Has anyone ever come across a leaner example? Thanks, Eóin.
