Remove Actions on "Edit File Type" window
Hi. I followed the directions at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;321379 for How to add the Print Directory feature for folders in Windows XP. I had problems opening shortcuts to other directories in Explore after that -- it would start the Search Companion. So I followed the directions on the website under the Edit the Registry section but that didn't fix the problem. It's very annoying. When I open the Control Panel Folder Option File Types Advanced Edit File Type window, I can't use the Edit or Remove buttons to remove the Print Directory Listing in the Actions window because they're grayed out. I took the word "none" out of the Start Run regedit (Default) Value data textbox and I also deleted the Printdir.bat I created in Notepad. Any help you can offer is appreciated. It's VERY annoying! -- Sue Programmer/Data Analyst Minnesota

Is this not the right place to place a question regarding a MS Office
problem? Since this isn't specific to one application (i.e. Excel, Acess, Word, etc.), I thought this was the best place to send my question. -- Sue Programmer/Data Analyst Minnesota "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: And you are asking in this Microsoft Office newsgroup because... ?

It's not an Office question. You are asking about file associations, opening
programs, and print directory. None of these issues relate to any Office programs. Try a windows newsgroup. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Sue" wrote in message ...

In the middle section of the instructions, the Control Panel part, change instruction # 5 to 5. In the Application used to perform action box, type: cmd.exe /c printdir.bat You'd think someone in Microsoft would test these things before making them public, wouldn't you? . . .

You may need to delete the Print Directory Listing entry using REGEDIT to delete the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print_Directory_ Listing key. Make the Default value for the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell key none. Then go through the instructions for the Control Panel section again, MAKING SURE TO FOLLOW THE REVISED # 5 INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE. Technically speaking, this is a Windows issue, even if you wanted to use this command to print directory listings for directories that contain only Office documents. You'd be better off asking questions like this in Windows newsgroups, which UNHELPFULLY aren't easy to navigate to from Office newsgroups using Microsofts execrable web portal. Next time, try using http://www.microsoft.com/communities...prompt .admin Don't be put off by the win2000 in its name. It's the only newsgroup available through MSFT's web portal frequented by people who know how to write and diagnose batch files and related issues.
