XP has stopped showing "Open" and "Explore" when I right click on a folder

(1/1)

FreeCat:
I noticed this about two weeks ago and I am not sure what was installed at that time as I was busy with other stuff.  I very much miss "Explore" as an option in W7, but now to loose it in my stall worth XP machine is sad and very inconvenient.  Any ideas on how to get it back would be appreciated.  Machine has all service packs and updates (XP pro 32 bit).  Thanks. 

Shane:
Every single menu item in the right click menu is stored in the registry. This also allows you to edit and add or remove your own.

So if your missing those then the trick is simply to find the reg keys for them.

If have have trouble finding them let me know, I have an XP machine I can check. But normally google will work as you want to make sure to grab all the reg keys.

See if this helps from my other site.

On the page look for
"Add Windows Explorer to the Right Click"
