Subject: How to get "Install Profile" and "Uninstall Profile" back into menu for .icm files?
Date: 17 May 2004 20:15:27 -0700
In Explorer, I associated the .icm file type with ICC's ICC Profile
Inspector application. Now the "Install Profile" and "Uninstall
Profile" entries no longer show up in the right-click menu for .icm
files... Help! How do I get them back there; or alternatively, how can
I install and uninstall profiles some other way?

Maybe this will help you out:
You will see in your registry a certain key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
- In this key are other keys, each one refering to a context menu item.
- You will see that the only value necessary is (Default) with a data of
the CLSID of the handler
- As the * key applies, these ContextMenuHandlers are valid for ALL files
So...
If you:
1. Create a HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.icm\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers structure
2. Create a key in the above key with the appropriate name
3. Enter the CLSID in the "(Default)" value, you should be able to find it
by searching the registry, it will point to a .dll that defines the shell
extension
4. Note: you may have to register the dll (using the regsvr32 command) in
order for it to work. If the above registry entries are already present,
this may be all that you need to do
I know, this sounds a little tricky, but it just might work. Let me know
