Registry Problem

[Jg427]

The default value for "new" that's missing is"{ D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"
That could be added except that the location "directory"and the subkeys are also missing.

There is a way to add that key. I will export that key to a .reg file, open it in notepad, copy and pasted the contents to the forum. You can create a new .txt with notepad, paste the contents into the txt. and then close it. Change  the .txt extension  to .reg then double click it to add it to your registry.


I'm on xp and I've been told you are on 98se. I do have the exact same key with the same default value that is listed on the microsoft sight, but below that subkey, directory also contains other subkeys. They add to my right click menu things like play in winamp, winrar options and drag to disk for my burner program. Are you missing any options like that ? If so, you probably need all the sub keys.


Here is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New\ (Default) without the other subkeys:
 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory]
@="File Folder"
"AlwaysShowExt"=""
"EditFlags"=hex:d2,01,00,00
"InfoTip"="prop:DocComments"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New]
@="{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"

it gave me some error. something about only being able to add registry files. it said that its not a registry script

therres got 2 be a way.

I was able to add this back to my registry as a .reg file. The problem may be that 98 uses an earlier version of registry editor than xp. Maybe someone with 98 could post the same key for you.

I've read that 98 stores 5 earlier copies of the registry as backups. You may be able to restore to one of those.
Instructions are at microsoft support.
