After having some problems with right clicking on certain filetypes I was
advised to look at a site which helped my locate the source of the problem
which was the context menu handlers registry settings located at
HKCR/*/ShellEx/ContextMenuHandlers.
After deleting the settings for groups right clicking on any file type
seemed to work with only an approximate 1 second lag between the click and
the menu showing up. But then the problem came back again. This time I
deleted more of the settings until only the OpenWith setting remained. Now
having deleted all the settings (but making a backup first (actually
several), of course) my right clicks are instant. It's almost as if the
context menu appears an instant before I click fast. But the option to open a
file with "Open With..." is now gone, which I fully expected after deleting
its registry setting.
Now what I want to know is how can I restore the open with setting without
bringing the lag back with it? I don't mind losing the other program specific
context handlers (in fact it's good they're gone, they were clogging up the
menu) but if I lose them then I will need the open with option.
I'm thinking that maybe there is a clean fresh setting I could add to the
registry to restore the option while not lagging the right clicks?
Thanks!
