    W10 Open with context menu problem


    Hi, I recently did a system "fresh start" on my laptop (to keep existing user folders/files and drivers etc), as it had slowed up a bit.

    This took about 20 minutes, it removed all the 3rd party apps, and the pc is functioning fine, however, I soon found out that there is a problem with the "open with" context menu.
    When trying to associate a file with app/program on my pc - the option is not there.

    Let me explain - when I right click on a file and click on "choose another app" - it no longer shows "more apps" and therefore cannot select "look for another app on this pc".

    The option is also not available within the "app defaults" in the settings menu.

    I have performed sfc /scannow but this did not find any problems.

    I would appreciate your help and advice, many thanks.

    :)

  2. Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown W10 Open with context menu problem :(
