Opening and Printing mutliple files

Posted: 05-06-2004, 04:34 PM
I want to open 10 different files in MSWORD and have them automatically
print. I am using WinXP Home edition.



I had done this before successfully.. But forgot how. I had tried finding
all the files in windows explorer. Then, I would select them all. Then, I
would right-click and choose OPEN or choose PRINT.



When I do that now, NOTHING HAPPENS. They do NOT open in MSWord. They do
NOT print to my HPDeskjet.



Any suggestions or utilities or websites that discuss this?



Thank you.

Do you have WORD installed now?

XP Home does not include WORD unless you purchased and
installed it (or had it done).

Because there is no setting. It caused by a context menu extension. Though I've been unable to replicate the problem on SP-1. I did a survey on a related problem with anyone who had posted a similar question (ever). The sample was only about 10 (I searched all posts last 20 years and emailed them). What I found was no common programs in common, therefore it seems it may be a common programmers mistake.

Type Regedit in Start Run
Goto

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\Con textMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHan dlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandler s
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandle rs

Export all five keys (on the File Menu) (First two keys apply to files, 1st, 3rd to 5th apply to folders/drives). Delete all two/five. What happens.
