XP, File and Folder Options menu issue

<< < (2/3) > >>

Perfect thats what i needed to see :-)

Ok I searched the registry and only found 1 location for the Print This File command. It is a command the points to shell32.dll -31250

As a test I changed the number around on there, killed explorer.exe and restarted it and sure enough the commands where swapped around.

So since that is where the command is and the ID number points to what command to run from the sehll32.dll then I woud check to make sure the correct number is on the print to file command :-)

Thanks for the reference!  Both 31249 and 31250 entries were simply missing in the sequential order.  I created them and rebooted, but to no avail...it still wants to move the file.  Odd, but as I am having no other issues, I won't fret about it.  I can always use the context menu, or print from the appropriate application...just found it strange. Absent any sort of systemic issues, it's not likely worth a lot of time to chase down in my case.  However, it might be nice to be able to repair these if they get badly messed up somehow.

Shane:
Those are the only references to it. If you like I can just export that who reg folder for you and you can export yours as a backup and then just import mine. You would want to delete yours first.

1. CTRL-Alt-Del to bring up Task Manager.
2. Click File | New Task(run).
3. Type regedit in the Run box and click OK.
4. Browse to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution.options

5. Under this key there will be subkeys named explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe. Delete the explorer and iexplorer keys entirely. They should not be listed under the Image File Execution.Options key.
6. Close the Registry Editor.
7. Restart the computer.

Assuming no other viruses / adware / spyware / malware are interfering, the Windows desktop should load fine now with fresh configurations.

Thank you, Jraju!  However, no such entries exist there. I think I can live with the issue until I upgrade.  I just am one of those folks that wants to know what causes things...lol.
