Re: Context menu - icons missplaced or not displayed

As best I can tell, this is a bug within Windows which I cannot fix or workaround. PowerPro uses a standard Windows API call (InsertMenuItem) to add items to the menu provided with Windows Explorer context menu. Here is why I think the defect is there or in how Explorer context processing handles the results of using this function: PPro works for either icons or new columns alone, but not the combination, even though same code used in each case. Icons are not shown correctly anywhere on second column. If only the first entry at the top of the new column failed, that might indicate a defect in PPro related to starting new column. Further, if the second column has a submenu, then icons ARE shown correctly on it. So it is not the case that starting a new column breaks all icon processing. Finally, I can duplicate a similar issue with menu items which do NOT belong to PPro. If you are running UAC and you show a context menu for a file in c:\program files, then the "need admin permissions" icon is shown beside the delete and rename entries at the bottom of the context menu. If the ppro menu entries above this have started a new column, then the text (eg "Delete") appears correctly in the second column, but the icon remains in the first column.
