re: How do WINDOWS XP do copy/past in a file folder? Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 9:27 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jacob6601 (2174 messages posted) Since copy/paste works, the clipboard is obviously fine. I suspect a recently installed app is affecting the Context Menu Handlers. However, it may be something else. Please supply information from the following steps (1 and 3): 1. Eliminate protected folders and include all file types. Try this in safe mode first, then in normal mode... 1a. create new folders c:\a and c:\aa. 1b. drag and drop files of many types (*.txt, *.doc, *.bmp, etc) into one folder. 1c. cut/paste the files (one at a time) to the other folder and try to open them. 2. Create a System Restore point (better yet, get a reliable registry backup using erunt). Using both backup methods is your best bet. Be sure to read and understand how to RESTORE before opening the registry: Erunt: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ 3. Run regedit and export the branch [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex]. Post that text back here, the problem might be obvious. Written in response to: How do WINDOWS XP do copy/past in a file folder?
