vista 32: problem adding to explorer context menu

Is there a fix for this it looks unresolved:

I can't add a context menu item to register dlls. None of the registry
edits are working for me.

Re: vista 32: problem adding to explorer context menu


I think I fixed this by removing these 2 keys.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.dll\OpenWithList
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.dll\UserChoice

I had an application defined to open dlls (red gate reflector).
Now my context menu items appear.
