Hi
I have a minor problem with Windows Explorer on XP SP2 which is very irritating!
Basically I tried to create a right-click option in Windows Explorer to open a command prompt batchfile for purging CAD files. The method for doing this is as follows:
Within Windows Explorer application, select "Tools", "Folder Options...", then select the "File Types" tab. Scroll down to select the "File Folder" item and then select the "Advanced" button. Create a new action by selecting the "New..." button. Enter "Purge" in the field labeled "Action" and enter the syntax required.
However, being the complete dickhead I am, I entered the syntax wrong the first couple of times. I eventually managed to enter it correctly and successfully create the command, however whenever I right click I'm also stuck with the old ones that do absolutely nothing.
The Folder Options window will not allow me to edit or delete the erroneous commands I have created. This isn't too much of a problem as I have simply been ignoring them, however everytime there is a upgrade to the CAD software I need to create a new command. My right click menu is filling up with commands!
I have tried logging in simply as a user and as administrator to remove the commands, however nothing seems to work!
Please help.
Many thanks
