MS Virtual Desktop Manager

[Old Codger \(TX\)]

Since I installed MSVDM (Virtual Desktop Manager) on our WinXP computers, we
now have problems.

1) In Windows Explorer in Folder view, when I click on a folder in the right
window, a window with a command prompt appears
(c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe).

2) When an icon on the Taskbar is clicked, a window with a command prompt
appears.

3) When we click on desktop shortcuts that did bring up My Documents on the
other networked computers in Windows Explorer, a window with a command
prompt appears.

How do we get the icons to respond properly on the desktop and in Windows
Explorer?

Thanks in advanced for helpful suggestions.

Hi Old Codger,

See if this command fixes the problem:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

More Information:

This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via
File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory"
feature for folders. (example)

Thanks to David Candy for the Regsvr32 tip.
