Hello,
Upon Right clicking the Desktop the upcoming contex menu doesn't list the "NEW" option, neither able to create a new foder option in file menu.
As a solution I was advised to set a new value in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ but three entries are missing: Background, DefaultIcon and shell, only the shellex folder shows up. See attached files.
Any advice?
Thank you
barsim
