exporer Open with is not working correct if more then one file is selected

[CatManTH]

Hi
I have tested it on more then 5 computers with Windows XP Professional
on it, with different applications on it. I got every time the same
result.
What I do:
I select 2 or more files in the explorer by holding the CTRL or shift
key. These files are all from the same type.
Then do a right mouse click and select "Open With"

What I get:
I get at first for the first selected file a folder selection window
with the headline MOVE. I cancel this action, then I get
a 2nd folder selection window now with the headline COPY. I cancel this
window again. Then I get the Program Selection Window I expect. I
select for example Paint Shop Pro. Any other program has the same
outcome. The program will start like expected.

But now I must handle this procedure for any file I have previous
selected inside the explorer. And the program will start again and
again.

But I also have Windows XP Professional Workstations they not show this
problem.

Any idea where I can stop XP Explorer to do this?

Thanks in advance
CatManTH

You added Copt To and Move To to the right click menu. They aren't meant to be there. Remove.

""So do you handle the Open command?" The "Delete" option says, "Nope,
sorry." So does "Cut" and "Send to" and "Sharing and Security". But "Copy
To" happily says, "Oh yes! That's me!" "

What about your neighbours (the North East ones)? Aren't they estactic? Defeating Australia in England.

IMO Aus test side is much stronger.

Today I went to the NSW Fire Commissioner's Bravery awards. This is off my
niece and the rescuerer (Mr David O'Brian).
(the other didn't want publicity and had his own private award ceremony). I
didn't get to talk to anyone as there were so many reporters and
photographers monopolising my family (who after all were the rescuees not
the rescuers but little girls sell papers).

 

[CatManTH]

Thanks David
this was the solution for the first problem.
But the 2nd one, why is the application opening 2, 3 or more times, I
still searching.

Oh! looks she was badly affected in that incident and the 19 months of
medical treatment explains it.

This is the difference 19 months make. She just finished treatment.

Things have changed. I had a girlfriend once who was badly burned at 4. She had scars. Bree has few scars because burns victims now wear pressure suits that prevent scarring. If it had have happened 10 years ago she would have died for sure.

Why do you not expect it to open for each file. How did you assign the program to the dile type.

Thank you for saving me from house blaze

ON the night her mother died in a fire, she looked into his eyes in hope amid a terrifying blaze.
Yesterday, seven-year-old Brianna Tempest-Candy looked at former neighbour David O'Brien with adoration as she saw him honoured for the heroic rescue that saved her life.
Her hugs and grins were all the thanks needed for Saratoga resident Mr O'Brien, who in November 2003 burst through a window of Brianna's flame-engulfed home to snatch her from death.
``He's a hero,'' Brianna told The Daily Telegraph yesterday as Mr O'Brien was given the NSW Fire Brigade Commissioner's commendation for brave acts.
His rescue was an example of an ordinary person doing an extraordinarily brave thing when it mattered most, Commissioner Greg Mullins said.
``Mr O'Brien was armed only with courage and determination to save the little girl whose voice he heard inside,'' he said.
Brianna's mother Diana Candy died in the fire. Her brother Jack escaped through a window. Brianna, who was six at the time, suffered serious burns, while Mr O'Brien had burns to his chest and arms. He visited the little girl in hospital and has seen her on other occasions through her recovery.
``It's nice to see her still here,'' Mr O'Brien said. ``We're pretty close.'' Brianna's father Kevin Tempest said his daughter had jumped at the chance to come and see her rescuer receive his award.
``He saved her life. If anyone deserves this award, he does,'' Mr Tempest said.
Mr O'Brien was awoken from his sleep early on the morning of the fire, after an apparent explosion in the neighbouring house in Steyne Ave, Saratoga. He rushed outside in pyjamas and bare feet to find the house four doors along in flames. Neighbours told him there were children inside.
``I heard her screaming. I looked inside, smashed through the window, then just rushed in and grabbed her,'' he said, adding that he smashed a side window with a table to get inside.
``It nearly knocked me back, with the oxygen and the backdraft. The flames just rushed over my head,'' he said.
It briefly subsided, and Mr O'Brien made his move. ``It was like it was meant to happen,'' he said.
Patricia Singleton, Eve Foster and Daniel Wall also received the Commissioner's commendation yesterday.
The workers at Henry Kendall Hostel at Wyoming staged the amazing rescue of 18 elderly residents from a life-threatening blaze in January 2004.
Mr Wall called 000 and escorted residents to safety as smoke billowed through the hostel.
He later joined Ms Singleton and Ms Foster, who had already evacuated other residents. The two women even scaled a 2.5m retaining wall to reach a wheelchair-bound hostel resident who was trapped.
``We were too busy to get scared at the time,'' Ms Singleton said.

Thanks David. I guess, fortunately Kevin was not there during the tragedy?
