Move and Copy prompt when Printing

[Guest Matt Curly Heslop USAF]

I have a user that when he selects multiple .docs inside a folder by

highliting them and then right clicking and selecting print gets prompted to

move then copy the files before they start printing.

 

Does anyone know a way to disable this?

Hi there Matt,

 

I tried duplicating it on my machine and here's what I found.

 

If you select multiple items on the desktop, sometimes what happens is as

you move to another object, you'll still have the mouse button held down for

a second. If it is, you actually start to drag the objects to another spot

on the folder or desktop, causing both XP and Vista to prompt you if you want

to Move or Copy the files.

 

Try this. Exaggerate your moves. Hold the CTRL key, click and release on a

document, then move your mouse to another document, and do the exaggerated

click and release again. Try to print and see what happens.

 

Let me know if it works!

 

Best Regards,

 

Will

Oops seems I spoke too soon. That worked for me but not the user.

 

User is still having the same problem even when being careful to click one

item at a time or by using Shift+click to select a series.

Try swapping mice and see if that resolves it. Might be a stuck button issue.

Nope wasn't the mouse either.

I'm to the point that I think nothing will fix this.

I've removed printers updated print drivers etc with no resolution.

Lets not give up yet.

 

If you're logged into the users machine as yourself, do you have the same

issue? If not, it may be a profile thing. If so, I'm still leaning towards

hardware.

After much searching I found this.

Delete the "copy to" and "sent to" reg keys from

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesSystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

 

This fixed it on every machine I was having this issue on.
