PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
I have PGP Desktop 10.4.1 64-bit installed on my laptop along with 18.30 XYplorer. The PGP Desktop adds a context menu to Windows explorer for encrypting and decrypting files (it does a few other things as well, but those are the ones I'm concerned with). When I right-click in XYplorer I don't see the context menu for Symantec Encryption Desktop while if I am in Windows Explorer it is there and working.
I tried to see if there was some way to get the same menu to show up by running through some of the menu options, but I couldn't see any way to get it to work. Is there something I can do to get it added? This is annoying for an otherwise great setup. I can see other app context menus are added (for example 7-zip), but I'm missing the PGP one.
Any suggestions?

Temporarily show it:

Sorry for the delay in responding to this, but this doesn't work. When 64-bit is unchecked, I don't see it. When I do select it, I don't get ANY right-click menus at all. The PGP install is 64-bit, as I said, but I have no idea what is going on in this case.

Re: PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
When I click the Show 64-bit Context Menu I get a spinning cursor and then nothing. If I right-click again on the file, I get only the 32-bit menu. If I select the permanent 64-bit menu option, I don't get any right-click menu.

Type
into the address bar and hit the enter key afterwards
Do you get the same problem with the new instance?
Code: Select all

Yes, I get the same issue with the new instance.
Re: PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
Activate this option:
Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Context Menus | Hide shell extensions from shell context menu
Just tell me if you get the 64-bit context menu afterwards (no, it won't display any of your installed
applications there but it should at least display properly).
If that option leads to a now working 64-bit context menu, deactivate that option again and follow
these instructions:
01. Get the correct ShellExView version (x86 or x64) from
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
02. Make sure that "Options - Show 32-bit Shell Extensions"
is enabled
03. Optionally enable "Options - Hide All Microsoft Extensions"
to reduce the number of entries. Normally they are not the
cause for any shell extension failures
04. Click on the "Type" column header to get a new sort order
We are only interested in entries with the type "Context Menu"
from now on!
05. Disable each item with the "Context Menu" type one after
another ("Menu - File - Disable Selected Items" / Right
click on an entry to get the context menu / Press "F7")
and after disabling one, switch back to XYplorer and
invoke the right click (64-bit) context menu again
When it is displayed correctly, you found the shell
extension that causes XYplorer's context menu to
malfunction...

Re: PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
The hide option didn't make the 64-bit menus show up. Should I proceed with the other one anyway to see if something there is the problem?
Re: PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
You can do that (in that case don't disable them one by one, but just all context menu
type entries all together) but I don't have much hope that this will fix the problem
(normally using that option inside XY should be enough)...

Re: PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
Yeah, that didn't work. I only had 2 things for context menu (one of them being 7-zip) and disabling them didn't solve the issue.
Re: PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
So to follow up on this, it is now actually worse (not sure what happened), but there are no context menus for anything. Before I had 7-zip and a few others, but now I don't have anything, and I still can't get the 64-bit menus to show up if I click that option.
I have upgraded to the latest 18.50 and it didn't change anything (this started on the 18.30 and I had hoped an upgrade could clear out the issue), but it did not.

Re: PGP Desktop context menus not appearing
Thanks. I guess I missed that after playing around trying to get the PGP menus.
