How I add item to context menu??

[Shintaro]

I have some registry setting that work in Win XP and Win 7, but ONLY for the Win 7 Administrator, not for the Standard User accounts. Does anybody know why?

It is not permissions, I have given my Standard User account Full Permissions to those specific registry keys.

As far as I can work out it *seems* to be related to CLSID's. For example if I play around with giffile registry key, in this article (http://www.howtogeek.com/107965/how-to-a...ext-menu/) by adding anything to the .gif context menu, it works fine.

Are you using code to add this (registry changes), or are you setting it manually?

[Shintaro]

Manually either by adding them indivually in to the registry and by importing them, tried both.

I just tried adding those registry changes to:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes rather than HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

As per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/...85%29.aspx

No change.

That seems odd. Have you tried using third party tools to see if that makes a difference?

Thanks mate, but that tool doesn't let me add options to the context of the .dmp files.

The above allow you to right click on a .dmp file that should show "Debug this dump" which runs Windbg, and also runs commands in the commands.txt file.

So I've been searching for reasons to explain this and I can't find any similar instances where it would only work for the Admin account.

Have you had any luck with this?

[Shintaro]

I should have added this a long time ago as my work-around.

Run windbg -IA (as Admin)

Modify users registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1089041261-4100035445-2517832506-1002_Classes\Applications\windbg.exe\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\WinDDK\\7600.16385.1\\Debuggers\\windbg.exe -z %1 -c $<c:\\Tools\\windbg\\commands.txt"

Works by double clicking on a .dmp file.

Eh, as long as it works for you I guess is all that matters.

Thanks for posting your work around.
