Sticky notes/ access from right click/new on desktop?

Navigating through Metro and (ugh) typing a search to pull up a new sticky note (being the fastest method) is an awful lot of work to put a new stick note on the desktop. Having it in the right click/new context menu seems a "no brainer".
If this can be added via the registry, please detail.

Hi,
Here is a simple way to get it. Add the registry below:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\New
StickyNote]
"Icon"="C:\Windows\System32\StikyNot.exe"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\New
StickyNote\command]
@="C:\Windows\System32\StikyNot.exe"
In addition, We recommend you could pin sticky Note to taskbar. Thus we also get it easily.

Menu from right clicking dock icon not working

Now, I don't know if this was present earlier - I am sure it wasn't - but when I right click on iTunes in the dock, in 10.5.3, I get Play, Pause, Shuffle, Next, Previous, Mute, etc..but when I try to click on them, nothing happens.
Can someone else replicate this?
(I am using iTunes 7.6.2)

Ran Repair Permissions. Restarted iTunes. Problem persists.
I cannot select Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Mute, Shuffle, or Repeat All/Off/One. Everything else I can access when right clicking in the dock.

Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed.

Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed. There is now only a short three item menu:
Previously there was a longer menu (like the one when right clicking an item on a Safari page):
I've looked in Preferences and at all the Mail dropdown items but can't find any way to get the old menu back (or why it changed). In particular, I miss the "copy image" item which allowed me to copy an item image into a new email for forwarding. I've got two email accounts, an IMAP and a POP. The behavior is the same with both.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Your screen shots are not visible to me. But I think I understand your question.
Several thoughts come to mind:

You can still, of course, simply forward the entire email message containing the image.
You could also use the "Save Attachment ..." feature available when you right click and copy and paste from there once the image is saved.
Less likely, you could also use the "Share" feature available when you right click, though I suspect it may not offer sharing options that you would like.

2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== approx. 2 days ago

I've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.
This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????
Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product.

Right click - New option keeps disappearing.

Hello,
We have Windows 2008 r2 TS, which almost has 20 users accessing it and same has all IT related application installed in it. The problem here we are facing is
"Right click -> New" option keeps disappearing. At first we searched on web and found that one of the relevant registry entry might be missing due to any third party tool and all we need to do is to add that registry entry
which we did and it worked too, but after some it disappeared again and from then on this has been repeating itself and every time we have to manually add the registry entry to fix it.
I tried searching on web for reason of such occurrence but nothing much was found, is there anyone else who is facing such similar issue and is there any solution for this. Thanks.
Regards, Amol S

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that "Right click -> New" option keeps disappearing on Windows Server 2008 r2.
Adding the registry entry manually can fix this problem, but after a period time, the registry entry has been disappeared again.
Before this problem happens, any new program has been installed? Or any change has been made? If so, try to uninstall the program or undo the change.
Besides, it seem that some process delete the registry entry periodically. Try to disable/uninstall anti-virus software(if any) and confirm the result.
Or, you may use some tools, such as Process Monitor(reference link:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396)
to find the process which changes register entry.

TS3048 my magic mouse does not want to right click anymore?

My magic mouse does not seem to right click anymore, any suggestions? For example, I used to right click on my icon of my memory card from the camera that I have inserted into the side of the IMac and I could choose "eject" now it doesn't want to right click and open up those options. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey.
This seems to be a common issue.
I've seen mixed posts on the net about the ES8000 working with the Apple Keyboard but from what I've seen the Apple mouse tends to fail the sync constantly.
Sad, I just bought a mouse to improve navigasting on the ES8000 and dissapointed that it doesn't sync. Maybe an issue with drivers on the TV.
Which Dell mouse (model number) works for you?

Hi,
I test this issue, actually, in IE 11, the option "set as backgroud" is grayed out after I applied policy Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing desktop background, but seems not suitable for
other versions of IE.

Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

If by "contextual menu" you mean Right Clicking, then Yes, I now can highlight text (say a name in Address Book), right click it, and Spotlight searches for it.
There is a little triangle next to the word Searching in Sys Pref; make sure it's pointing down and opens the sub-choices below it, i.e. Look up in Dictionary, Search with Google, and Spotlight.
Let me know if this doesn't do it for you.
Good luck.

If I right click on my desktop I get numbers such as N.169.3 how do I get words back? My computer is called SD5 or SD8 how do i get words back?

If I right click on my desktop I get numbers such as N.169.3 how do I get words back? My computer is called SD5 or SD8 how do i get words back?

this is what has come up:
"DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES" = "/Users/Shared/.USBSafelyRemove.so";
Sigh You are infected with one of the strains of the Flasback trojan. You are not the first, and unfortunately not going to be the last. So I don't have to retype all the instructions, here's some from MadMacs0 for another user where I've modified it for your case:
Select "Go to Folder" from the "Go" menu of the Finder (or type Command-Shift-G).
In the window copy and paste the following:
     ~/.MacOSX/ and hit return.
Make note of the date the file "environment.plist" was created / modified then drag it to the trash.
Open the Terminal app (found in /Applications/Utilities/)
Copy and paste the following commands into a Terminal window after the "$ " prompt, followed by the return key:
     rm -rf "~/Library/Application Support/.USBSafelyRemove.so"
     rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/vmlog
     rm -rf /Users/Shared/.USBSafelyRemove.so
     rm -rf /Users/Shared/.svcdmp
You will not receive confirmation of deletion, but you may be told that some of the files do not exist as not all have been found by all users.
Holding down the option key, select "Empty Trash" from the Finder menu, then restart your computer. All the visible signs of the Trojan should be gone at this point.
Again I want to emphasize that we do not know enough about this Trojan to be confident all the damage has been repaired. You are still advised to make certain you have a solid backup of your data and using the original installation disks, install and upate OS X and all your applications from a trusted source. Then restore your data files from backup. Or use TimeMachine to take you back to the date you were infected.
And lastly, Intego has discovered that the Trojan attempts to sniff out usernames and passwords that you enter into many popular sites (like banking sites, Google, PayPal, and others), presumably so that the malfeasants behind the software can exploit that information in other nefarious ways, and sends them back via Twitter. You should assume that happened and change the passwords for all such accounts that you have visited since being infected along with any other accounts that use the same password.

Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
How can I fix this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Combine PDF feature missing from right click option Acrobat Pro 9/Windows 7

I combine PDF's all day long and need this feature. I had it on my old computer and since moving over to the new computer I do not have the option to combine PDF's when right clicking on PDF documents. I have searched the forum and found other fixes, however none have worked, I have uninstalled and re-installed three times as well and no luck. Does anyone have any other ideas for fixes for this. I need this feature.....
Message was edited by: chesty21

Found this it worked for me :
http://acrobatusers.com/forum/pdf-creation/right-click-option-combine-supported-files-miss ing a known issue caused by the context menu handler not being registered (tends to result from patches and installs when Windows UAC is active).
It's
From the Start menu, choose 'All Programs' > 'Accessories, and *right-click* on 'Command Prompt'Select 'Run as Administrator' and approve the UAC window (if one is displayed)
If you have 64-bit Windows, in the command window type the following and press Enter, including the quotes:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu64.dll"
On 32-bit Windows, type this instead:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu.dll"
You should see a message saying it was successful. Close the command prompt window, and your context menus should be back up and running. .

Downloaded brushes not showing on right click drop-down list

I have recently reinstalled Photoshop cs5.1 and ran into a problem. My installed brushes are not showing up on my right click drop-down list. I took the old brushes and copied the folder to the new location. When I go to use these brushes there used to be a big drop down list when I right click anywhere on the canvas. It now only shows the basic brushes, but here is the thing though I can load and see them through the preset manager but they are not on my drop-down list like they were before I reinstalled.
I have noticed something odd as well this may help in the solution I have noticed that some files from Photoshop are saved on to my second hard drive, but I do not know if this is the cause.
The reason I reinstalled is my GPU acceleration wasn't working and had to reinstall to fix this. If any other information is needed I would be glad to share. This is just cutting into my workflow time since I have to load every single brush singlely and if I load them all I have to search through every single brush to find what I need.
Thank you!

I found a solution to my problem it may help others! I run Windows 7 64-bit this has two seperate folders for applications when installed. I did a windows search for one of the names of the available brushes on my right click list. The search showed me where the brushes were at. (Example: I searched in windows: DP Brushes) Aparently photoshop normally installs as a "32-bit" program in this location, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PhotoShop CS5.1\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Presets\Brushes it is here that I copied my new brushes to and it showed up again. Hope this helps anyone who was in my situation!
