P4EXP item missing in file context menu

[miroslav.vrlik]

How Total Commander scans for items to add into context menu (displayed on right-click of the file)?

I'm, using P4EXP what is explorer plugin for Perforce (www.perforce.com), and its context menu item is visible in Windows explorer but invisible in Total Commander.

Is there anything what can be done about that?

Context menu handler is registered on these 2 places:

Registry path:
HKLM\Software\Classes\Directory\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers
HKLM\Software\Classes\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers

Registry "Key=Value" pair:
P4Exp = c:\program files\perforce\p4exp\p4exp.dll

Why Total Commander can't see it?

Try the old trick to rename "Totalcmd64.exe" (or "Totalcmd.exe" in case you are using the 32Bit version) into "Explorer.exe".
This may help if the explorer extension is limiting itself to run only inside Explorer process.

Thank you very much for the trick. (It did not work this time but it is a nice one )

Actually I've checked Total Commander registry access using SysInternals' Process Monitor and I can clearly see that Total Commander IS checking that extension when context menu is about to open. So the problem must be inside extension filter.

For Total Commander, the issue is resolved, thank you.

TC does not look by itself for extensions. It calls IContextMenu->QueryContextMenu for the selected files/folders.
