The "Manage" option has disappeared from the context menu when I right-click on "My Computer"

The "Manage" option has disappeared from the context menu when I right-click
on "My Computer"

It still does exist & is functional from within Settings -> Control panel ->
Admin tools.

Any idea how I get it back into the My-Computer context menu?

Note that on this system the registry key:
"NoManageMyComputerVerb" in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
does not exist. The system is running WinXP Pro with SP2.

Thanks!

Hi Warren,

Have you checked Local Machine? Either way, run the edit on line 284:

Kelly,

Thanks for the reply. I didn't find "NoManageMyComputerVerb" anywhere in my
registry including Local Machine. I tried the "line 284" fix and saw no
improvement. But the line 285 fix did cure the problem. Thanks for the lead!
