• Add the "Print Directory Listing" option to the context menu of Windows Explorer

  Get the error message when you try to use the "Print Directory Listing" solution found in:
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us on my new Windows 7 system (from February 2010).

  Could create the context menu of Windows Explorer for the task, but selecting just results in the following error message:

  "This file doesn't have an associatd with her program to perform this action. Please install a program or... to create an association in the default programs control panel. »

  Wentback and checked my Regedit work.  Even deleted the new key and she recreated (just in case.)

  NOTE: I had successfully used the instructions in this article to add "Print Directory Listing features on Windows XP systems, so I reviewed these instructions to see differences and noticed that it * no. * 'associate' step for Vista/Win7 in the article, but this step still shown for XP.»

  And, there seems to be NO WAY to associate a program (in this case, a ".bat") with all of 'record' as target.  Only choices I see these in the 'control panel default programs ' are'. [extensions] "and the protocols.

  So I'm puzzled.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I just tried this with instructions to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us link you provided and it worked fine.

  In view of the error you get here are my assumptions to what may be the problem.  Please try these out and answer:

  -Because it denounces, "file doesn't have an associated program.." I would make sure that when you created with Notepad the file .bat you na not to create a file called 'Printdir.bat.txt' or 'Printdir.bat.some_bad_extension '.  If your Windows Explorer settings are set to hide file extensions when you look at a file name, then maybe the REAL file extension you give the command file is being hidden on your part and Windows does not know how to open a file with the extension hidden type.  Make sure that you can see all the file extensions and make sure that the batch file is named with the .bat extension.

  -If you see very well all the file extensions in Windows Explorer and your file is called really Printdir.bat, make sure that you have saved in your root directory of Windows.  If you access %windir% you see Printdir.bat inside there?  If this isn't the case, put it there.  If you do, when you double-click the .bat file Windows run without error and print the dir?  If it works, you know that the batch file works correctly.

  -There's a typing error in the instructions for Vista/Windows 7, check that your registry entries look like this:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print directory Listing\command

  This shows the new key under shell called "Print Directory Listing" and inside this key/folder another folder/key named "command".

  To within the key/folder 'command', it takes only one entrance with the name of (by default).  Double-click (default) and make sure that its value data is set to:

  Printdir.bat %1

  -You shouldn't need step "the associate" in Windows 7.

  -You can add "Add Print Directory Listing to the context menu of Windows Explorer" for the title of your question so that others can find it.

  Hello again,

  Another reason for not getting answers in due time, it's that you post in the wrong forum in "answers". This should really be posted in this forum...

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/Forum/Messenger

  .. because Windows live call is part of messenger. By posting your question in the wrong forum you not reach the largest selection of possible contributors, perhaps even eliminate everyone with the appropriate knowledge.

  You have already been informed of the connection of Windows live call with messenger by Srinivas KR in your original question.

  In short, most of the lack of response, you have found is down to your own lack of knowledge about the best way to get results. If you want to use a new tool, it is always a good idea to do some research before you use it so that you can get the best out of it. "Answers" are your information tool and will make you much better work for you if you are reading this...

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/page/FAQ

  .. .in conjunction with the link I gave in another of your questions.

  That said...

  It doesn't seem like Messenger have the ability to disable this option. Editing the registry appears as a possible solution. Editing the registry when done incorrectly can have serious detrimental effects on your system. Do so at your own risk. I can say that I followed the instructions here...

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-remove-Windows-Live-call-entry-from-new-ShellNew-menu/

  .. .and they worked on my PC.

  Of course, if you do not use Messenger, you could just uninstall as advised previously by Srinivas KR.

• How to add "Add to Windows Media Player list" to the context Menu of the specific file types

  I use Windows XP Professional 64-bit and I can't understand how to do this, even after hours of reading on google.

  When I right click. MP3 files or. AVI files, they give the option to context menu "Add to Windows Media Player list" but other files that I wish it would show for such as. MKV or. AAC, I can't show him for. I have searched everywhere in the windows registry and cannot for the life of understand me this.

  It works perfectly well and appears on our windows vista computer and the old 32-bit windows xp computer, but it does not appear on my new current.

  How I'd go about adding this choice "Add to Windows Media Player list" when I right click on. MKV and. AAC files?

  If possible, I would like to do this without having to install any software. I don't have a problem with the registry change and prefer it if possible.

• How can I turn off the options to context menu for Adobe Acrobat on Windows 7?

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can tell here:

  1. The Explorer of Windows 7, I have context menu options to "Convert to Adobe PDF" and "convert to Adobe PDF and send". Both these options ask me to choose a target file name, but when you select a file, Office 2010, I get a message about the missing PDFMaker files. Can I remove these options from popup menu?
  2. In the Explorer of Windows 7, I also have context menu option 'combine taken supported files in Acrobat. But once again, with Office 2010, this fails because "Windows can not find Acrobat.exe. Can I remove this option from context menu?

  I think anyway, there are some compatibility issues between Office and Acrobat X and I have no use for the options menu It's just clutter. I have Office 2010 32-bit.

  Thank you

  Martin O'Shea.

  I have no idea. I don't use WIn7. ShellExView is the best way to remove it. You can search in the registry. And then delete. But please make sure that you delete the entries on the right

• How to add (remove) items from the context Menu in Windows XP

  I want that some programs appear in the OPEN WITH context menu. This allows me to choose another in the associated program. I don't want to change the association, and I don't want to search the program folder programs whenever I need.

  Right click on a file you want to modify the 'open with'.
  Click 'Open with' and "Choose program."
  Do not forget that you uncheck "Always use this program to open this type of file" except default if you want to use this program each time.

  Select the program you want to use, if it is not listed, then click Browse and navigate to the program. And then click OK.
  The new program now appears when you right click on the file or program.

• 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.

• "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.
