Weird "cmd" option in the context menu for the drive/folder

Recently, I noticed a strange 'cmd' (as what) command appeared in the context menu for the drive/folder. After pressing it, I get an error "this file doesn't have an associated program to perform this action."

Efforts to eliminate this question nagging eye, using regedit and various 3rd party menu popup editors, have failed.

Any ideas why this might have happened?

Thank you in advance.

So, I thought about it. It indeed is a corruption of the menu prompt integrated (that I didn't know existed until I started to search for this problem).  The problem and the fix is here:

There is a key called "command" in HKCR\Directory\shell. Delete the key "cmd" under "shell", and then adding the following code appear to have solved the problem.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
@= 'none '.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt]
'Extended '=' '
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt\command]
@= "@shell32.dll,-8506.
'Extended '=' '
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt\command]
@= "cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\"" "

  • 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.

    In regards to the XQuery Mapper fails when you drag from the Source to the target (Doc ID 1962165.1()

    Hello

    I created a small diagram to test, and indeed you cannot use the Insert create items in the design, but you can do it in Source view.

    To be even easier that I did was to take this scheme which had only a root with a choice and added another element like a father (so I added another level). Like this, you are able to use the Insert, and if you see the code that is generated after doing, in the Source, you'll have what you need.

  • How to add commands to the context menu for the types of files (add associations)?

    I would like to download anime and re - encode standard dvd (mpeg2) format before you burn it to a DVD for better quality.  I have a program suite that supports the grunt work, but to do a contextual menu command that calls the original batch file that the user must manually add it to the menu of context by file association.  I found that I can access the menus of file associations, but the option to add a new association with an existing file type does not seem to exist.  Is there a registry entry, I need to change or add to allow me to customize my context menus in Windows 7?

    Create a text file (make sure you have the framework where you DO NOT hide known file extensions unmarked)

    Change the new text file... Copy the following: [quote]

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMP11. AssocFile.AVI\shell\Queue for encoding]
    @= "& Queue for encoding.

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMP11. AssocFile.AVI\shell\Queue for Encoding\command]

    Save the text file..., rename the text file with the .reg extension

    Double-click the new registry file to add the context menu commands to your registry... everything is done! :)

  • Starting stupid question, where is the context menu for the project?

I've tried to get this context menu... what in the world I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    My book offers more detailed advice.

    First, go to the window menu and select the option to display docking headers. Then in the upper right of the project Panel, click on the > button.

    These options are available through the context menu also, if you right-click on an empty spot on the project Panel, after the list of media clips.

  • Context menu ' New &#62; compressed (zipped) folder ' vs ' send to &#62; compressed (zipped) folder ".

    I'm moving again right click and zip file, but the option is not there. I have to right click and go to send to, and then compressed zip folder or use 7-zip and move everything on the desktop, create copies and then to have to go back and delete after that is very time consuming. I just want to do a right-click option of origin go again and zip folder back. Can anyone help?

    The context menu (the thing that appears when you right-click) is different if you right click on an empty space on your desktop to the right by clicking on an icon on your desktop.

    If you click on an icon, you get the choice ' send to ' with several sub-menus including "Compressed folder (zip)."

    If you right-click an empty space on the desktop, you get the 'New' choice with several submenus, including "" the file compressed (zipped)."

    If you click on the icons of some - but not all-, you will get a 'New' choice that has no submenus.  Selection of the 'new' opens in some program opens the item specified by the icon.  In other words, if you right-click on a Word document (or a shortcut to a Word document), by selecting 'New' opens Word.  Items that are associated with programs that cannot create a new file (for example, Adobe Reader for pdf files) won't even have the choice of 'new '.

    Then... If you right click on an empty spot on your desktop, is the 'New' element?  And if it is, is "File compressed (zipped)" absent from the list of submenus?  If so, see number 3 here (and read the below directions on this page)--> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/28677-new-context-menu-remove-restore-default-menu-items.html

  • Context menu for PS CC extension 2014 HTML Panel

    Hello

    Flyouts being supported by Flash panels. But after migrating to HTML5 Panel, I found that it does not flyouts. However, after the publication of the CC 2014 applications, I found in the documentation of CC 2014 Extension SDK, that engine CEP 5 supports a SetPanelFlyoutMenu() method. But I'm unable to call the method from the extension. It gives the error below:

    Error.png

    Looks like the method is not present in the CEP Engine_extensions API, although it is mentioned in the documentation for the SDK that the method should be there. Am I missing something here? Help kindly.

    Thanks in advance.

    Note: I upgraded to the extensions of target CC 2014 as mentioned in the blog below Hallgrímur Björnsson:

    I added HTML panels advice: #14 Menu flying | Photoshop, etc with an extension of demo showing a menu drop down and its click handler (the full code is provided on my GitHub page, link in the post) - hope this helps!

    I'm calling a pop-up window (which is on another canvas & window) to navigate from an element to the form. This pop-up window will have self-investigation values based on a condition satisfied.
    If I call it via a button no problem... But I want to display this automatically if the condition is satisfied.

    I'm sorry that I can't read your beautiful Italian, but problems with a right-click are most often caused by a third-party software that inserts entries in the context menu. You can fix the latter with ShellExView free utility.
