Hi Shawn

I noticed a little mistake in the Tute post there buddy.
I always do the Manual mode when making reg edits and I was following your instructions as shown here:

Quote:

4.[/b] In regedit, go to: (See screenshot below step 5A)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellx\ContextMenuHandlers

I couldn't get the command to show in the context menu and I checked and double checked, I even went to the CLSID to make sure it was the correct one for Windows Switch, it was.
Then I noticed where the mistake is...you forgot to have the subkey "Background" in the Manual instructs...oops.
So that manual method should read "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellx\ContextMenuHandlers"

Later bud!

Hi Shawn,

Thank you! It worked so much! Now only Flip 3D doesn't work in Windows Classic theme but only works in Windows Aero! Thanks!

Hi vista2007

The Flip 3d option is only available under the Aero theme I believe, and won't work in Basic or Classic mode.

NP my friend!
I'm simply relieved to know that you're Human too...I had heard that you were some kinda "Alien" type and that scared me a bit...

Hi Dave,

It's included in the Warning box to have the Windows Aero color scheme selected.

Don't worry, we aliens are non-hostile and very friendly.

Thank you,
Shawn
