Explorer right click menu item duplication

[BrianG61UK]

I use ExamDiff Pro 16 on Windows 11 with the new style Windows 11 explorer right click menus disabled.
Can I somehow configure so that ExamDiff's items on the explorer right click menu are not unnecessarily duplicated?

Interesting... How did you disable the new menu? Using the Registry? Because here's what i did:

Ran this command:

Code: Select all

reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /ve /d "" /f

Then restarted explorer.exe and got this menu:

How did you disable the new menu? Using the Registry?

With Winaero Tweaker.
I think it uses the same method you used, they say this reg file is the equivalent manual method:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32]
@=""

Maybe it's because I always install ExamDiff upgrades over the old versions without uninstalling first?

Maybe. Try uninstalling all versions and then install version 16. FWIW I have the same:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32]

Try uninstalling all versions and then install version 16.

Thanks. That worked.

Then I uninstalled and reinstalled PowerArchiver to try to fix a similar minor problem I had with its context menu.
The problem with ExamDiff's menu then reappeared!

So it seems to be some kind of bizarre interaction between PowerArchiver and ExamDiff Pro!
Maybe I can investigate further at some point, now that I know I wasn't just failing to find a setting somewhere in ExamDiff Pro.

Thanks for letting us know.
