To make Ecosqueeze run with the in context folder menu, I changed the the text in the key CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\EcoSqueeze\command in the registry from "D:\Programme\EcoCom\EcoSqueeze\EcoSqueeze" /p:%1 /s /r /t /w /v /e:*.sld*;*.do*;*.xl* to "C:\Program Files\EcoCom\EcoSqueeze\EcoSqueeze" /p:%1 /s /r /t /w /v /e:*.sld*;*.do*;*.xl*
I don't know if it is a common issue or just mine. I don't know if it as been ever published.

Is a reboot necessary for that to work?
Not for me (Windows XP). And I don't think so for others as not the whole registry is in memory. Windows access this key just when needed.

I seem to have some other problem then. I select EcoSqueeze from the context menu and Windows asks me what program to open the file with.
With the original registry value, I also get that. With the change as above, it works properly with EcoSqueeze opening with that folder already loaded - just like you would expect.

Made mine work properly - how did you ever discover that one?????

One more try: You should reinstall Ecosqueeze and then modify the registry key. Is there really something at C:\Program Files\EcoCom\EcoSqueeze\EcoSqueeze.exe ? or did you installed it elsewhere? Another possible reason: "C:\Program Files\EcoCom\EcoSqueeze\EcoSqueeze.exe" /p:%1 /s /r /t /w /v /e:*.sld*;*.do*;*.xl* instead of "C:\Program Files\EcoCom\EcoSqueeze\EcoSqueeze" /p:%1 /s /r /t /w /v /e:*.sld*;*.do*;*.xl*

I'm a little familiar with program assotiation issues. I then got the idea that there is a problem with a registry key. Ran RegMagik and search any entry in the whole registry with ecosqueeze in it. Found in the list an anomaly: "D:Programme...". That's it. Ronan
Aha! I forgot to change the d: to c:. Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have known how to find that key.
