Dead Messiah Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I need some help here.... When I right-click on a shortcut in Windows XP I get this: What I need help with is how do I get rid of the double entry of those certain programs? or Do I need to have the double entry of them? Just asking because the top one has a 'Unpin from start menu...' and the bottom one doesn't. It wasn't like this before, it just started the other day, I ran a system restore operation and no luck. So if anyone can help me, PLEASE do! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tesseract Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Try uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling the programs involved (WinZip, WinRAR, WinACE, NAV). Hope this is a one time thing and it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to install another program though. I just want a way to make it so two entries of the same programs don't appear when I right-click on a shortcut. It's weird, when I right-click on my Verizon Online DSL short-cut it doesn't create the two entries, it be acts 'normal' but when I click on the Trillian shortcut or any other shortcut the two entries appear. Well, if anyone can help me out, please do. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dead Messiah Posted June 21, 2002 Author Share Posted June 21, 2002 It's weird because both are shortcuts but one gets that double entry. I really would like to fix this so if anyone can help me, PLEASE DO! :( Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Boeing 787 Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Context Edit is a standalone .exe so there's nothing to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dead Messiah Posted June 21, 2002 Author Share Posted June 21, 2002 I downloaded and looked around in ContextEdit but it didn't seem like anything was 'wrong' it just had the usual stuff and a entry for Norton CleanSweep. Oh well... If no one has any answers I guess I can just live with it, but it is annoying as hell. :ermm: But if someone can, or thinks he/she can help me out, please post something. Thanks.
