Opening Multiple files from Context Menu: Using Windows XP Home SP2, file
Explorer, whenever I select multiple files (e.g. .doc, .xls, .jpg, or
combinations, etc.), right click, and select the "open" command from the
Context menu, for each file, before opening, it displays the "move items"
dialog (which I cancel) and then a "copy items" dialog (which I cancel).
These extra actions do not occur when I open a single file from the context
menu. These extra actions do not occur when I select "preview" or any
command other than "open". This problem seems related to "shell.dll", open
command action settings, registry settings, or shell extension hooks. That
is as far as I could get in researching this problem. Please advise of any
open action settings, registry key changes, or shell extension hooks I should
change (using program ShellExView) to solve this problem. Thank you, Stymied
