Explorer context menu BC Icon missing
Yes I did reboot after disabling the 38 extensions.
Upon your last posting (#15) I re-enabled those 38 extensions in order to be in a position to follow exactly your advice and do the disabling in parallel both with shellex and 64bit at the same time.
Thereafter I rebooted and then disabled all non-MS extensions (except CirrusShellEx) in shellex.exe results as well as in shellex-x64.exe results at the same time.
After rebooting again the situation was still the same: no BC context menu Icon in windows explorer (the respective checkmark being set in the Tools menu > Options dialog, Startup section > Explorer Integration).
Note:
After having done the disabling with shellex.exe and then starting to do the same with
shellex-x64.exe I realized that the items disabled before were already disabled in x64. So I had nothing more to do. But I was uncertain whether I had really started x64 and not just carelessly repeated x86.
I find it rather difficult to differentiate between shellex.exe and shellex-x64.exe output if I am not very attentive when starting the exe because there is no diffenrence under "Help > About" between the two. It does not tell wether it is x86 or x64. That is rather irritating.
However, I could be sure because when sorting the output tables for "File Created Time" I get sixteen "N /A" with x86 and only two with x64. So I don't have a "mirror situation" between the two outputs - not sure whether this is significant.
