Title: 3 Options not showing up, on Right-click Desktop
Post by SFdude on Dec 27^th, 2009, 1:14pm

Hi Jamie & all,

great app!

Just updated to the latest version 1.6,
on my XP-SP2 pc.
(I UNinstalled previous version 1st).

New version worked fine.
All 3 options: (Save/Restore/etc),
showed OK in the Menu,
when I right-clicked on the Desktop.

But...after rebooting,
the 3 options,
don't show up in the right-click Menu, anymore!.

Checked the Add/Remove Progs List:
...yep! the app is there, installed ok.

Any suggestion/s on showing again,
the 3 Menu options in the right-click Desktop ?

Help!
:-/

OK - I'm replying to my own post,
PROBLEM SOLVED !!!

After installing the .msi file
of version 1.6.2,
I (inadvertently) changed the Folder name
where the prog. was installed...Duh!

I prescribed 17 punitive lashes to myself. :P

I restored the installation Folder name back to:
"Desktop Restore".
3 Menu options show up again,
when right-clicking Desktop!

Thanks Jamie for a GREAT prog.

The COM shell-extension program path is registered during installation, so that path can not be renamed after installation (or the program will not be found during Windows boot).
