Device Manager to Right Click Menu of My Computer

[Wesmosis]

I donno what happen exactly, I've bin using this reg tweak from the stone age , when I build a new ISO (XPSP2+RVM2.0.3+NilteRC7) , it causes an error message when I right click My Computer and want to open the Device Manager

and here is the reg tweak for it:

; Add Device Manager to Right Click Menu of My Computer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Device Manager\command]
@="mmc.exe %%SYSTEMDRIVE%%\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\devmgmt.msc"

@Wesmosis, im having that problem too in RYAN VM2.0.2 updates.. it was fixed after 2.0.3 & now that my curretn build is 2.0.4 updates of RYANVM, that bug is back again.. MMC files are responsible for that... i dunno but according to glent, a ryanvm add-on can fix that issue.. havent tested it yet..

[Nepali]

,, yeah ,,

my UAXP is also based on ryanvm pack

and i am also using that registry

SAME problem

Now i have to disable that registry key...

the problem might with ryan pack (but not sure)

[glent]

Yes it is the MMC console that cause this problem , do a seahc for "Devove mananger" on his forums for the fix

[Wesmosis]

do a seahc for "Devove mananger" on his forums for the fix

Thousands thanks Slimzky. Solved the problem right!

I too have run into this issue, but only with Server 2003. I'm gonna try this fix when I get back (On vacation), but a suggestion would be to use the %WINDIR% variable which should resolve to your Windows folder. You would need to add the "System32" after it of course. I'm pretty sure a .reg file supports that. If not, you could always convert the command into a reg.exe syntax. Just a thought!
