Shell Integration not working as expected

[beethoven]

using Version 13.3 on Win 7, 64 bit

I recently migrated to the above system and since then noticed a few things no longer working as before and they may be related:

1) 7Zip seems not to integrate into the shell context menu (though configured that way) - if I use XYplorer now with rightclick, it shows me Zip (though this may me 7Zip?) - in Windows Explorer it shows up as 7-Zip

2) using Nitro PDF-reader, I noticed the following issue - all my pdf files are run sandboxed via Sandboxie 4.06 - double-clicking the pdf file in XYplorer or using Open will not work and not do anything, right click the file and choosing open with does work - this behaviour is limited to XYplorer and does not appear in Windows explorer

These are minor issues and I take XYplorer any day over the standard windows program, just wondered whether there is something I need to do.

Are you moving from a 32bit version of Windows?
If so, http://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=ctx64

I recently migrated to the above system

And was the prior system also same OS? At least in terms of 64-bit? 'Cause if you were on a 32-bit OS, you've hit the same thing that dozens/hundreds of threads here have discussed and which is a FAQ on XY site about context menus...

Thanks guys, in particular for the link - yes, that explains it.
I actually had done a search for sandboxie and nitro but had not come across this. Guess I will wait for the 64 bit version and work around it for now.

Well, you can use Portable File Associations (PFA) to force all the pdfs that are fun by Nitro to be sandboxed.

Go to [Tools] -> [Customize File Associations] -> Add:

Code: Select all

"Nitro PDF-Reader" pdf>"C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" /box:Applications "C:\Program Files\PathTo\NitroPdf\Executable.exe"

That should force the sandboxing. The /box:Applications tells you to sandbox the program in the sandbox named Applications so change that accordingly.

More information on the parameters for sandboxie should be here:
