menu items not showing up

chuck4100 · 05-03-2008, 09:51 AM

When i was running vista 32 bit things showed up as they did in XP, like when i installed winrar, i'd have all the "extract here" and "Add to archive" options in the Right Click menu. but now, i am running 64-bit vista and no options are added to the right click menu for winzip, winrar, or daemon tools. does anyone know how to fix this or how i might add them manually?

You need to change options within the application to allow explorer enhancements.

This applies to Winzip and Winrar. Don't know about Daemon Tools.

Well, i looked at the options and the explorer enhancements were already enabled. which reminded me that i clicked something to add shell options or what not when installing winrar. i tried disabling then re-enabling them but it didnt work.

That should work. It shows up in the context menu of both files and folders:

The registry entries are:

looks like i have the same registry entries except the one under file, but i also dont have symantec

chuck4100 · 05-03-2008, 05:25 PM

are you running x64bit?

frank200 · 05-04-2008, 09:12 AM

I have 32 bit. Do you have the CLSID:

Also make sure "C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZSHLSTB.DLL" exists.

chuck4100 · 05-04-2008, 12:28 PM

well i definetly didnt have that entry, and i do have the .dll but under C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZip

all the non 64bit progs get put in th program files (x86)

do u think this may be part of the problem?

chuck4100 · 05-04-2008, 12:37 PM

well, i added the entry as your pic showed and it didn't do anything after a resart

frank200 · 05-04-2008, 02:01 PM

When you installed Winzip you put the .dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZip. So the registry entry has to point there. That definitely would be the problem. Also the Winzip entry in respose four has to point to the E0d79 CLSID. Where does yours point now?

chuck4100 · 05-04-2008, 02:55 PM

what or where is respose four

frank200 · 05-04-2008, 04:43 PM

You really should do this through a reinstall of Winzip. If that will work.

chuck4100 · 05-04-2008, 05:38 PM

do you think that using an old version of winzip made pre vista 64bit would cause it to not put regitries in the correct location?

chuck4100 · 05-04-2008, 06:02 PM

my update, installing the newest version got the winzip shell extensions in but didnt work for winrar and still doesnt help with other programs, but its a start.

Did you download the 64bit version?

chuck4100 · 05-04-2008, 07:45 PM

dunno, i just got the most recent versions

According to this Winrar is only compatible with 32 bit versions of Windows. Also check this out.
