Firewall rules problem

(1/2) > >>

Willy2:
When run on my XP laptop the new "Firewall Rule add" program doesn't show the "right click options" right away, the first time. I had to fiddle a bit (don't know what I did) to get it working. Then the second time it worked.

Shane:
Perhaps explorer didnt take the new regkey just yet. Waiting a few min, restarting explorer.exe or rebooting should take care of it :-)

Shane

Willy2:
No, I didn't need to reboot. It wasn't that serious but just wanted to report this. don't know whether there's a fix for this.

Shane:
Nothing to fix. The program just adds the regkeys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\

Thats it. From there it is up to explorer to read and pull from the registry. The only way it would be a problem is if for some reason the program didnt add the regkeys, which it doesnt do by default, you have to open it and tell it to :-)

Shane

Willy2:
So, a simple "Close + Open Explorer" should always do the trick. Because then Explorer will/is supposed to read the registry again.

Ok. THanks.
