That may be true, and if it is, I don't know why (but then again I don't know enough about shell extensions). But still, does running the TC command cm_CopyToClipboard do the same?

@dalai
This is because shell extension can register handlers for file copy (hook the file copy operation). This not ctrl+c but the copy to clipboard operation which is caught and why cm_CopyToClipboard have same behavior.
About not having same effect inside explorer or not. I have seen some weird extension with explicitly hard-codded "explorer.exe" as parent process name to do some specific feature or bypass.
Nirsoft is always helping with shexview.
@gewone Good catch !

Re: AcroTray.exe being launched when punching CTRL+C inside TC
It just happen to me as well with CTR+X (Windows 10).
Just renamed Acrotray tonight, and now after watching a movie I wanted to move the movie file in TC to another folder and Ctrl+X started popping up the same message about Acrotray.
I do have a few PDFs open in Reader, but that's about it.
Everything from Adobe (besides Reader) are killed from the TaskManager but the issue persists.
For me it worked only by navigating into the folder: regsvr32.exe /u ContextMenuShim64.dll

So, if anyone ever finds this thread thru' Google or whatnot.
Here's the culprit, and the command to permanently resolve the problem.
Code: Select all
regsvr32.exe /u c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenuShim64.dll
For me it worked only by navigating into the folder: regsvr32.exe /u ContextMenuShim64.dll
