Yesterday I had an odd issue with a Windows laptop. Every time the user would right-click on a file or folder, an error message would pop-up saying "Registry Access Denied", after acknowledging the message, the context menu would appear and function normally.
I did numerous searches, examined permissions, removed/added the user from groups, nothing worked. Then it hit me, it was the context menu that was having an issue, perhaps I should take a look at all the items that are listed in the registry to see how they matched the right-click menu after it appeared.
Doing yet another search, Online Tech Tips had info on editing the right-click menu. Following the registry path mentioned: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ I was able to see that there was an entry for a zip program that wasn't appearing on the context menu. After backing up the registry, I removed that entry and viola, no more error. Simpler than I thought...
Great solution! thanks a lot it worked!

ReplyDeletezipx was my problem too. i uninstalled the program and then deleted the registry key and it worked! I too was on a wild goose chase and knew it wasn't admin rights or any crap like that. I was stumped, but when I saw the mention of zipx it struck me that i had installed a zipx program recently because someone had sent me files in a zipx.
