Start menu entries are often not just like other files.
Maybe that you have one shortcut for Autoruns in a "All Users" subfolder and another in current user : two files which appear as one but both are still referenced.

It may also be related to another tweak such as the one that lets you select a shortcut (the .lnk file) rather than the file it is pointing to.

Just some ideas.

I think you're talking to the wrong guy, but you make a good point

Hello,

I'm not sure how to interpret "I think you're talking to the wrong guy, but you make a good point" RyanVM.

Camarade Tux, I understand exactly what you're getting at. Duplicate shortcuts referenced as a single entry could well be the cause - I will look into this. The registry tweak you mention - I do not have such a tweak applied.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am still having the same problem.

I will test the *.dll on a fresh installation and report back.

Hello,

Testing complete, problem identified.

One of the below registry tweaks is responsible for the duplicate entries of Copy To... Move To... the question is, which one?

Any ideas fellow unattendees?

[just_laze]

The only one that i can see that i'd consider immediately suspect is:

;Adds "Empty Recycling Bin" to the right click menu

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin]
@="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"

Due to the location 'contextmenuhandlers', i hope it isn't an unwanted side effect.

laze.

Hi,

I have identified that this tweak:

;Remove Shortcut Arrows on shortcuts
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile]
"IsShortcut"=-

When used in conjunction with the Copy To... Move To... *.dll results in duplicate Copy To... Move To... entries when right-clicking start-menu favourites.

Why thank you, why thank you...

[Camarade_Tux]

That's a weird tweak : it makes sense but I am under the impression this can't be the tweak in MS's TweakUI.

But from MS:

Quote

An application can register a file name extension as a shortcut file type. If a file has a file name extension that has been registered as a shortcut file type, the system automatically adds the system-defined link overlay icon (a small arrow) to the file's icon. To register a file name extension as a shortcut file type, you must add the IsShortcut value to the registry description of the file name extension

Which is exactly what you're saying.

[just_laze]

Hi,

The tweak doesn't concern me, it's the side effects associated with it.

This might actually make sense!

I have this tweak applied at present but I've removed it from my next build.

I've been running tests this last week and noticed this error/bug with Copy To/Move To doesn't exist anymore.



Edit:

I can confirm this to be the error.

I just added back...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile]
"IsShortcut"=""

...bug is now none existent!

Hope this helps.

I still use the regedit one instead of the dll one because the dll one doesn't have the option to create a new folder. Anyway we could get the dll one to have that?
