We have a registry hack deployed at work where you create two new keys here:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\

new values: default value

Copy To: {C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Move To: {C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Quite a common hack and very useful. However with the hack applied if I highlight two documents and tell them to print either of the copy or move dialog boxes will come up. With the hacks removed it works fine, can anyone replicate this? Or even provide a fix?
 
Interesting.....just tried 2 of my machines and I have exactly the same issue. Never noticed it before. If I right click a single document and hit print, works fine. Weird. :crosseyed:
 
Get shell toys, it has loads of tools, including copy move to and it does;t mess up anything else
 
Yeah, I also don't use the copy to/move to either, but it was part of a new build we just released, not something we will notice I guess..

Good work finding the explanation tho ! :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
