Thanks totoymola,

I may have a new version, in a few days time, with helpfile improvements on using the editor. Maybe the copy to clipboard request. etc etc.

:)

Correct. That is as silent, as it gets. ;)
/? can be used, for help.

Recommendations:
This program is suited for OSes, 2000 and above.
I would not recommend for 64bit OSes.
As with a conflict of the dll used with this program and the ContextMenuExt.dll used in RyanVM's pack. I strongly suggest that they are both not used together. ContextMenuExt.dll should be unregistered before installing CMenu. This program has far more to offer. The final choice is up to you.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've been running both of them together on three different computers. No problems. You sure that's where the conflict lies?

Or is it possible that they are conflicting, but not throwing up any errors?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A verbal warning of any conflict, will not be shown, unless it coded, to do so. Changes in the context menu, while using both, is enough notice for a possible conflict.
When a shell problem does happen, it will be Dr.Watson running in the background, doing a crashdump.
When you have 3 healthy systems, it maybe fine, but if some problem, lowers the defenses of your system, that is when any other problems, tend to surface.

The best way to answer this logically? Why have 2 DLLs to do the same task?

These are pictures of CMenu only. With the exact, same task:

Attached File  copymove.PNG (862bytes)
Number of downloads: 63

Attached File  Browse.PNG (12.81K)
Number of downloads: 64

This is a builtin feature of the DLL, that CMenu uses.

CMenu does the other DLLs task plus many more. The other DLL is 25% larger, then the CMExt.dll ???
I think my recommendation is a good one. I did not say you could not have both, but do strongly recommend not to.

I can see a purpose to add this. I will work on the addition of Innounp.exe. I will consider further additions as well.

Thanks for the script. I may add innounp directly to Identify Installer. That will innounp, with no Dos box.

Priceless information. I will update. Will be added and noted for Inno Setup 5.1.4 and above.
Also empty /COMPONENTS= is not default components now, instead no components. That could be nasty change, to installations.

Thanks benners. ;)

MHz would you consider changing the installer to an Inno setup?, I would like the option of not installing certain commands, i.e AutoIt and would prefer to do this at the installation stage with the components switch instead of having to delete files\folders and reg entries after the fact.

I also am in the process of cleaning my context menu up and adding the to your Cmenu and would like the option of including these changes into each new build you create.

Thanks
