Windows 7: Computer/Manage context Menu Platinum message

Glad that you got it working ...
Thank You for posting back the solution

It's using CompMgmtLauncher.exe to display its window if that helps anyone track it down.

Hai Andy Welcome to SF ,

Maybe you can take a look of this thread it might help

right click COMPUTER icon, MANAGE has SHIELD by it

Well I think i've fixed it with shexview.exe, this particular item just has a ? for its name I disabled it and Manage and Windows Media Player 12 both work the same as normal now. It's still worrying though as I have no idea why it got that way in the first place.

Glad that your issue is fixed

Extension " ? " doesn't actually give much information. .NET framework it kind of generic because Context Menu is adding to ASP.NET Controls. So i guess you don't have to worry about it because if it important i don't think the Extension name would be " ? "

The worry may be over already, I think I've figured out what program pissed about with my computer. If you look at the picture above you will see the date the CLSID was changed, I looked through the install dates of my programs and found one program installed that day that could be a probable cause, in this case it was some junk called 'balesio FILEminimizer' that came free with Nero 9 that I purchased on the same day. Anyway I removed it and after refreshing shexview.exe the ? had disappeared, hopefully that's sorted it out.

Thanks for the help Jack

Its funny you mention FILEminimizer, I also found this software installed with my nero. Come to find out, it is also given out free on a site called "Giveawayoftheday.com"....I wonder if that was the cause of my mange computer issue? I will look into it more, but for now, I'm good..Thanks!

You most welcome Andy

Just wanted to confirm , I had the very same problem and AndyDigital was right it was Fileminimizer , I had it installed on my system when the problem occured , I uninstalled it and everything is back to normal again .

I REALLY can't stand when software installs cr@p on your system without asking !

Thanks to all for your replies, I had the same issue and was able to solve it: I also received the FileMinimizer Suite because I purchased an upgrade to Nero 9 and initially thought it could be useful... However, I could not find the extension using ShellExView. But after having a closer look to the folder that contains FileMinimizer, I noticed the following two files:
- FILEMShell.exe
- ShellMenu.ext
and decided to rename their extension to .NOTEXE.

After re-starting the system, the problem was solved and FileMinimizer still seems to work. I'll probably de-install it anyway however, because I don't like that kind of "marketing" at all...
