2 entries for Avast in the Context Menu!
« on: September 28, 2005, 03:54:04 PM »
When I right click on a Short cut on my desktop or a program in my Start All Programs menu why does it have 2 entries for the Avast scan? One ending in .exe and the other ending in .ink?Why would I need both of them? And is this a little bug maybe? If I could I would only like to have the .exe shown. Only reason is I don't like having to many thing in my context menu.

I never had such problem...
Maybe if Igor does not find an answer you could un-check one of them with ContextEdit:

It seems so....
Please, try to find {472083B0-C522-11CF-8763-00608CC02F24} in your registry - in particular, in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. There should be a few occurrences - so paste the corresponding keys here.

The list looks completely normal (i.e. exactly how it should look like). avast! shell extension is registered to handle all files (*) and folders.
I really don't know why the second item ("Scan .... lnk") appears there. If I should guess, I'd say it is caused by some other program (that you have installed on your computer) that modifies the context menu this way. Do you any such tool (some kind of GUI extension... don't know what exactly it should be)?
