Re: Context menu problem
Hello,
That's right however you may want to try loading the 32-bit version of
Windows Explorer:
we always default to the 64-bit Explorer.
Something like this:
Drive_Letter :\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
This articles I think talks about this.
895561 Some Windows Explorer extensions and some Control Panel items are
not displayed on computers that are running an x64-based version of Windows

Thanks,
