Explorer Malfunction?

This is just odd...

from WinCustomize Forums

OK, I know redneck hillbillies are supposed to be backward, but this is too much!

When I right click on anything in explorer, and mouseover any item in the menu that opens a second menu, that second menu should open to the right of the first one, unless to do so would cause it to open off screen, correct?

 

Well, I just noticed that the opposite is true. It is odd and I have no idea why it happens. 

 

Anyone have an idea?

Edit: Nope, it worked for one right click. Now it's back as it was.

Impossible... Don't change WB skin and it will work eternally.

This worked at first but reloading a WB sets it back to "Right-handed"

You need use this "patch" each time after applying new skin in WindowBlinds. At least until  this bug will be fixed...

All this SNAFU started AFTER the Tuesday MSUpdate. I had to do a complete System Restore and now everything has been returned to a more normal SNAFU period.

Well ... its kinda like this. I am not going to apply a patch each time I change a skin, I'll live with it. It isn't that much of a bother.

  yes, i did a restore to 1 week back, so thhis being my NEW puter and only 2 months old, I have to reinstall my CS3 and unregister and uninstall my mail proggy and redo all that and maybe return to normal SNAFU! I still in the process of setting up my new machine and like other's will have to wait for the fix????? I ran the updates from MS just a second ago and they didn't affect a thing.  Now, it's break time, :beer:

Just noticed it is doing this very same thing in Windows XP 32-bit, SP3, all updates current.  Menus moving left and right off of main right click menu is extremely erratic.  Sometimes it works correctly, but most times not. :(

The only time the sub-menu should be on the left is when there is not enough room for it to appear on the right, period.  In WB 7.3 the only time it is appearing on the right is when there is no room on the left, like everything is reversed.

Could someone please move this thread to the Support area, I don't think it is going to get noticed in this area.  Thanks.  :)

 

Thanks Doc and Hank!

Exactly. Thanks for moving it, I should have put it there to begin with, I guess.  :blush:

Oddly enough I removed windowblinds completely and the issue was still present until I ran the fix Vad suggested.

That is odd, but the fix VadM suggested has to be reapplied every time you change blinds.

 

 

One thing I wish to point out is that I never stated that this has anything to do with windowblinds. That was inferred later.

Any idea why clicking that link launches WindowsMediaPlayer?

and Dickhead is busy but said it launches Quicktime on his.

Reply #38 from WinCustomize Forums Top

It's probably my ftp server. Use IE to download and change ext to .reg

 

If you want to do it the old fashion way:

Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"MenuDropAlignment"=-

Save. Rename .reg. Merge. Reboot.

I did it the old fashioned way. Worked great!!!   Until I changed blinds..... :annoyed:

 

 

Duckhead!!  :grin:

I am seeing the same thing and it has nothing to do with where I click.  On the same popup menu clicked from the same place some sub-menus are opening left and some right even though there is plenty of room right.

Yeah, in Windows Vista and Windows 7 it only works until you apply another skin. :(

 

Just have to wait for the fix I guess.

I thought it wasn't very bothering, until I came back to Photoshop  8C

 

 

I'll keep Vad's method until it'll be fixed...

 

thanks :thumbsup:

I'm not having any issues with Photoshop version 7. Maybe when i start changing skins around. We'll see.
