Posted October 27, 200717 yr My reg entries were same as suggested, but still I could not see edit on .bat file right click context menu. then I Downloaded "Context Menu Editor" from http://www.bartdart.com/ tried deleting some context menu (one by one {delete one and refresh asnd see if Context repaied?) you dont use. e.g. acrobat..,Stuffit (depending upon what you have installed) All 3(open Edit Print) showed up as soon I deleted the "Stuffit". Now It could be limits the no. of prgrams you can have in context menu. Not sure.
