Explorer Context menu problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hi Doc,

Click Start/Run and type this command:

regsvr32 wmpshell.dll

If that does not help, a 3rd party shell extension may be blocking the
function. In that case, investigate using ShellExView. Follow method 2 here:

BTW, does this happen with the "Play All" feature in Common Tasks pane as
well?

Glad you got this resolved. Looks like it was the ACD shell extension
causing the problem.
