"Open containing folder" missing from the context menu

When I do a search, I want to right click on a result and open the containing folder.  But for some reason any, since I had a Windows 7 machine, this option is not - or "Opened" or "open file location". Is it possible to get it back?

No, it does not appear in the context menu in Windows Explorer.  That's the problem.

I found that pressing the Shift while clicking on gives a different context menu that does not contain the option. I have no idea why it does not appear in the contextual menu.

  • "Edit in Photoshop Elements" missing from the context menu of windows.

    How can I get the 'Edit in Photoshop Elements' in my context menu? I think what happened was that after installation of PSE 13 I uninstalled PES 12 and who removed the context menu item. Just guessing. Is it possible to add it without reinstalling PSE 13?

    Right-click on a photo file of the type you want to open in PSE. In the context menu, right-click Open with to open the menu. Select "Choose default program" and in the window that opens, select PSE 13 if it appears in recommended or other. If it is not displayed, select Browse and navigate to the PSE 13 .exe file in programs/Adobe/Photoshop Elements. If you want the files of this type to be always open to post-secondary studies when double-clicked, check the box "always use the selected program." If you want to PSE 13 only appear in the open with menu, make sure that the box is not checked. Click OK.

  • "Send to desktop" missing from the context menu of Explorer

    I have a new install of Windows 7 pro, but I worked with her for a few weeks for some programs to run. I just realized that I can't create a shortcut for the Office in the normal way, with a right click and "send to"---> desk. "Send to" is present in the first Panel to right click, but the "office" is missing from the Panel following if you selected "send to."

    I created another profile and the 'office' is, as appropriate, when above sequence is started.

    What could be wrong, or more importantly, how can it be corrected?

    I see another post in this group with instructions to create a new profile and copy that to her. I can do that, of course, but when I do there always seems to be something missing, so if there is one solution (other than a restaurant), I would be happy to hear about it.

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions, links, explanations, etc.

  • Option ' send to ' missing from the context menu

    guys,
    I use windows vista and have recently lost the option ' send to ' context menu. Help, please. Thank you.

    Mukul Modani,
    Looks like there is a problem with the registry entry for the menu "send to".

    Important: This document is to modify the Windows registry. Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about the back upward, and restore the registry, review of the Microsoft article 332756 Knowledge Base (how to back up and restore the registry in Windows).

    Try these steps and see if it solves your problem:

    1. Click Start, and then type regedit.exe in the search field. When appears in regedit.exe, press enter or click on its icon.
    2. Provide consent or credentials appropriate to user account control if prompted.
    3. In the tree pane, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
    4. Open the subkey send to. If it does not exist, create it.
    5. In the subkey send worms, you will see a (default) string value. Ensure that it is set to {7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}.
    6. Log in and turn it on.

    If you are able to change the registry, I exported the correct values from the registry a new installation of Windows Vista that you can import. Simply download the following ZIP file, extract the content inside the file, double-click it and click 'Yes' to the guests.

  • Remove "Run as Administrator" from the context menu

    I'm locking of the student accounts on our lab computers, and I was wondering if there was a way to remove the "run as Administrator" from the context menu for the Office products?  I already deleted it for all other .exe files and shortcuts on the desktop through the registry after I made a backup.  The registry key that I deleted is:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    I'm probably missing something (maybe to do with the students how creative people can be), but miss me how it helps lock anything down since the use of "Run as administrator" immediately triggers a dialog box asking for the administrator password.  Just curious.

    When you use JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 it will result in JDeveloper starting a browser requesting a URL "/ faces/DeptEmp" (without ".jsf").
    (Note that in the sample adfc - config.xml has a view with the id "DeptEmp" activity, but for pages without an activity view corresponding to the stream of unrelated task (adfc-config.) (Xml) JDeveloper starts a browser requesting a "/ faces/otherPage.jsf" URL (with ".jsf").)

    Still, I wonder if we should really run (JSF) pages, or rather an activity view in the flow of a task?

    After running into issues with calling (JSF) page URL rather than controller unbounded ADF task flows view activity URL in another forum thread [1], I try to avoid pages (JSF) (execution of the task-flow unlimited instead) running.

    Hello

    Still, I wonder if we should really run (JSF) pages, or rather an activity view in the flow of a task?

    The recommendation is to run the activity. I think it's just my laziness to boot from the JSF file in the case of the article (and given my article only has a single page in the workflow unlimited I wonder if my attempt failed, if there was a need for a navigation to another view in the flow of unlimited work). The risk from a page directly, it is a physical implementation of a view that could be used by multiple streams of different tasks (although the common use of the stubborn workflow is to go with fragments of the page, always bounded task flows could be defined using complete documents). His recommendation that you start an activity to view pages in order to ensure the ADFc is used (I wasn't even not aware of 11.2.3 to automatically change request activity instead of the file if there is an activity of referencing).

  • Stop and run option is missing from the Start Menu.

    Original title: Administrator group of experts.

    On the Admin Panel when I want to close I normally press start and the "closing". However the button turn off disappeared and only shows button "quit". In addition the 'run' button is gone as well. How to restore it back to normal?

    It will help with these situations... and, this lesson, I've added a few new commands to my answer of registry file generic copy/paste for these kinds of things:

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.
