| Open New Window fails 4 some folders+links My rt-clk menu for folders or links to folders has a 'Open New Window' entry that opens the item in new window. Folders or links to them with a '=' in path like "F:\My Documents\...\Prblm=CF(Y)missingXPmax" seem to have part before '=' dropped since it results in Error: 'CF(Y)missingXPmax' is not a directory. command in Registry is "explorer.exe %1" without quotes at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shel l\opennew\command] It seems like a ' or " in right place would solve this but all they did was neutralize the command. I dont know much about Registry . Your help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks- bye- Larry Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK. |

| Re: Open New Window fails 4 some folders+links Greetings Ayush & thank you for your response. I thought I tried that - well I shall now. I had to drop this problem to get USB1.1 working on PCI-USB2 card which was very complicated: 5 drivers involved. Your help is MUCH appreciated.

| Re: Open New Window fails 4 some folders+links Works great. Here's weird REG file entry that does the same thing(you never know if & how to delineate "s !! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shel l\opennew\command] @="explorer.exe \"%1\"" Thanks- bye- Larry On Wed, 07 Mar 2007 08:28:53 -0600, Ayush <"ayushmaan.j[aatt]gmail.com"> wrote: >Larry(LJL269) wrote :: >> My rt-clk menu for folders or links to folders has a 'Open New Window' >> entry that opens the item in new window.
