Hi,

I am missing the option "Open with ..." in the explorer context menu of
my computer (WinXP-SP3), however, this particular CLSID entry is present
on my machine (see below) as I found by checking another box with
shexview.
How can I "reactivate" this context menuy entry?

TIA,
Uwe

Hi Ju.c,

thanks a lot, that solved the problem. Following your directions I found
that in this key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With]
@="{09799AFB-AD67-11d1-ABCD-00C04FC30936}"

the "Standard" was empty and the CLSID linked to an "OpenExpert" entry.
Copying the value to "Standard" and deleting it from "OpenExpert" made
the built-in context option available immediately without reboot.

Cheers,
Uwe
