Guest joshwert Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 When I right-click a file in the Windows Explorer the context menu no longer displays the top-most portion of the menu. The items missing are things like: Open, Edit, Preview and Print. The other strange thing is that the Open With command is displayed in bold (denoting it's the default) when I click on any file. All file associations/actions are correctly configured in Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior, and if so what steps can be taken to correct the situation to display the missing commands once again? I hope to hear of a solution. Thanks. jw
