Same troubles here. None of the suggested solutions in this thread worked (except maybe TheVinesKid solution, but the mentioned attached file is no longer part of his post).
This workaround did it for me: Right Click Manage stops working.
In particular the suggestion to put
%SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc /s
in
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage\command]

yes yes yes yes yes ...that did it for me...replace the default data with %SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc /s in the registry key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage\command]
And manage indeed works...
What is very weird is that the above in bold is not what the tutorial link says to do, however my issue is fixed soooooooooooo.........
THANKYOU TOMVDP,,,thankyou all for your incredible expertise
PS: Go figure; you have to hack the registry simply to get the manage shortcut to work but its a nice hack...I did NOT have to do anything else....
PEACE OUT!!!

Before I read tomvdp's solution, I found an alternate that worked as well. It was posted on the windows community site, and it worked when NO other solution worked. Specifically, I changed:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Common Administrative Tools" setting=%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools & Utils\Admin Tools
Voila!
That is where I move all my tools to. As for many others, the manage link had worked until very recently, and I don't know what caused it to break, but I found the change above did the trick. I have also made the change tomvdp suggested, and that does not cause it not to work, so I'm going to leave both in place. We'll see what happens.
Cheers.
I had the same problem and fixed it with a registry modification.
Go to the CLSID key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and find the computer icon key:
{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} Go to the sub-key shell\manage\command
Change the value of command from: %SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe
to: mmc %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc
This changes Manage right click to use the msc directly instead of calling the launcher.
Works every time!
Also repairs similar complaint that right clicking Manage brings up a window stating no program is associated with launcher.
