Before i start: Vista 64bit , Eraser 5.86 (updating as i am typing this), and File Assassin (Unlocker like app) 1.06. Directory Opus = 9.1.3.0
This has happened for a few programs and I have found a custom workaround using dos commands for the apps i want, but 2 that I know of are "Eraser 5.8x" ( ii am currently updating to see if it is fixed.
The other is File Assassin from the makers of Malware Bytes... if I go into the regular vista "explorer" the context menus are there for both (programs I mentioned), but esp for FA, I HAVE to make a custom right click which sort-of works (there is an extra error prompt but it works) when unlocking a file ... the two default (unlock and delete with FA) are not there "inside of " Directory opus.
I figured it may be a setting somewhere because i KNOW those context menu items appear on my other XP machine (even the same installers were used) and there is no issue.
I found a way around using Commands and FA command lines (although it works it DOES produce an extra error prompt which is no big deal) .. I just wondered if anyone else had this issue and how to fix it.
I am going to mess with "run as admin" for D.O. .. I already tried this with FA (even the FA installer) and still no luck... maybe the UAC is mucking up the settings?
FYI, 7-zip had issues at first but an update fixed that, and winrar is a-ok as well as "FileMenu tools" ( lopesoft.com/en/fmtools/info.html ) 's context menus appear no prob in our "out" or Directory opus...
again, FA's appear IN DO on XP, and in vista on it's own explorer, but not "in" DO.
