right-click "extract all" not functioning, and right-click other problems

[gmarrone]

When I click "extract all" for a zip folder nothing happens. Anyone
know the answer for this?

Also, I have had problems with no install option on inf files.

And, I use a utility, that once file names are highlighted I can choose
an option to copy them to the clipboard. I can choose the option but
when I go to paste I find out that there was nothing copied.
(FYI: Clipname from http://www.mainsoft.fr/en/pctwoverview.htm )

Are these problesm related?

One of these might restore the right-click operation.. you can compare
the registry entries before importing them:

Line 56. (r-h column) Enable or Disable Right Click Context Menu

Line 203. (r-h column) Restore Right Click Properties

Line 349. (r-h column) Right Click - Error

1. Start Menu | Run ... cmd
2. CD C:\Windows\System32
3. DIR *zip*
4. Make sure each file is registered (regsvr32 *zip*.dll)

See if Zip Extract works.

Copy data to clipboard

1. Start Menu | Run ... clipbrd.exe
2. Check to see if your data is on the clipboard

INF Files:

Default is to Edit. Right click on INF file and see if there is an Install
option in menu.

Try :
Start - Run - Copy/Paste following :
regSvr32 zipFLdr.dll
Click OK

If that doesn't work :

None of them worked. That utility allows me to copy folder names but
not file names. I guess I will try contacting the developer. It did
work before!

Under C:\Windows\System32 there is no directory *zip*
What do you mean by CD on line 2? (sorry for the dumb question)

Regarding the Zip "extract all" problem.
What should the file association settings be under tools|folder options
in windows explorer?
The settings under "advanced"? Thanks!

OK, Problem solved.
It had to do with the context menu settings in IZArc 3.5. (it is a
utility that I downloaded to unzip compressed files) I disabled all
the context menu options and all of my problems were fix. (inf, zip
and clipboard)

Thanks for your help.
