Duplicate menu entries

M

Michael Harris

Hi,

When I right-clicked on a Desktop shortcut application
icon there were six duplicate entries on the dropdown
menu list. The same thing occurs on right-clicks in the
Desktop Directory folders in Windows Explorer.
I scrutinized the following keys in the Registry Editor
but found no "double" entries therein.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

I then proceeded to export the whole ContextMenuHandlers
Registry key, after which I deleted all the entries that
appeared as duplicates in the dropdown menu list. I then
re-added the entries, one at a time, and each entry
reappeared in duplicate again!! in the right-click
dropdown menu list.

As a result, the dropdown menu lists are now very long
and it is a serious nuisance to scroll to the desired
item. Can anyone shed some light on this annoying issue?

Thanks,
Michael

Only on shortcuts and what are you calling drop down menu? The context menu
doesn't drop down. Send me a screen shot via email.
