move to/copy to context menu

[chevin]

Hey all,

First, just want to say I'm new to these forums, and they are by far the best resource I have found. You guys have put together so much good information.

Anyway, I've never done an unattended CD, but usually do quite a few registry tweaks manually after I install. Several times on several different systems I have set up Copy To.../Move To... on the right click menu. It works great for at least a few days, sometimes a few weeks. But after a while, whenever I try to open my hotmail inbox from Trillian it will first pop up both the Copy To/Move To windows, then after I cancel out of them it will open up in the browser. I believe it has happened opening files from other locations as well, but I can't remember off the top of my head. Anyone else have this happen? And is there a flaw with the registry keys I am adding?

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

Thanks for all the help so far.

That tweak is known to cause problems like that. I don't use it anymore.
