You're welcome Mike.

| Success!
|
| I didn't personally delete any of those IsShortCut
| entries you mentioned, but your mention of deleting the
| shortcut arrows did lead me to find the solution. I have
| both TweakUI and System Mechanic on my system and they
| both had the option to not show shortcut arrows. I
| turned them both back on, rebooted, and it fixed my
| original issue but did add the shortcut arrows back. I
| turned TweakUI's option back on, rebooted, and now I only
| have the one Winzip entry in my context menu and my
| shortcut arrows are not there. That's exactly what I was
| looking for!
|
| Sounds like it might be a problem with System Mechanic's
| shortcut arrow command, or maybe having two separate
| programs that try to control that? Anyway, I'm all fixed
| up for now, thank you so much for your help Durand
