Vista - Mount context menu option for Norton Ghost (*.v2i) missing

I am running Norton Ghost 14.0 under Windows Vista Home Premium with the lovely SP1.

There use to be an option when you right click a v2i file on the windows explorer, this option said Mount and I think there was a Open option too. The one I really need is the Mount one.

Anyway, this option is gone, I am not sure if it is the SP1, I have tried context menu editors and viewers and the shell registry entry is there and it is not disable by the "legacy" entry option on the registry, I believe it has the right command too, attached is my registry entry and a screen shot of my context menu:

Hi there,

Thanks for trying to help and for your time, this is the output:

.v2i=pqiFile

The file association seems to be fine. I'll merge the REG in my test system tomorrow and see if I can repro the issue.

To check if this problem is caused by third-party shell extensions, follow "Method 2" in this article: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm

I can't repro it in my system though!

Great!!!,

I was able to isolate the problem and yes it was Power Iso Context Menu Handler causing the problem, so I disbled it and it worked.

Thanks so much.

Later...
