Manage my computer

[Kent Petersen]

I'm trying to get the rt-click on "My Computer", select "Manage" working on
my XPe image. A couple of weeks ago someone referred me to a post from
Lynda Allen with some registry changes to enable the rt-click, My computer,
Manage sequence. It works just fine when I add it manually after starting
up the XPe image, however, I'm now to the point where I'm trying to get all
the bits and pieces incorporated into the .sld file.

I added the registry settings to the "Extra Registry Data" item in my .sld.
When the XPe image comes up, I have the "Manage" item listed on the rt-click
menu for "My Computer". When I click on it I get the error message:

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."

At this point, here are the registry entries:

Before:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage
]

"(Default)"=hex(2):40,00,25,00,77,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,69,00,72,00,25,00,5c,
00,\

73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,6d,00,79,00,63,00,6f,\

If I then add the registry enties manually the rt-click, My computer, Manage
sequence now works. The registry now looks like:

Anybody have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? In the second set of
registry items I seem to have duplicate entries. If I delete the duplicates
the sequence still works.
