Windows Explorer context menu options not working

[jsampson45]

If I right-click on the name of a text file in Explorer, a drop-down menu appears with several options such as "Edit with Vim" or "Open with Notepad++", or whatever. Selecting any of these does nothing. Is there a way of making them work? I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have the relevant programs installed.

Repairing open with problem :
go to command prompt and write this command:
cd\
c:\> attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf
c:\> del autorun.inf
d:\> attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf
d:\> del autorun.inf
restart the pc
where c and/or d are Your drives or partitions

Thanks. But this returns "Access denied".

Thanks. But this returns "Access denied".

Did you open the "Command Prompt" using the "Run as administrator" option?
