sl23 Posts: 292 I've been having some issues for some time, but they have been intermittent. I thought it was either windows 10 or my system playing up. I reinstalled windows a while ago and the problem persisted. Essentially here is what happens: 1. I was clicking on a JPG file and the windows associated program (XlideIt, installed in SyMenu) was opening and after appearing would then close. 2. Then I noticed this would happen with PDF files too. 3. Again, it started happening with RAR files. but with this I would R-click to archive a PDF file and it would open WinRAR, close it as soon as it had opened, then open Foxit!!! A system Restart would solve the issue, hence I thought something was wrong with my system. But... yesterday, it occurred to me that it was fine one minute then the next it was playing up. So I thought, what had changed? I'd opened E:/SyMenu to access an app not on my main used D:/SyMenu. As this seems to only affect certain file types I then tried Disable Extension Manager from the E:/SyMenu. Lo and behold, it worked! All these months I was plagued by this issue and it was SyMenu's Extension Manager causing the problem! I also have the Extension Manager active on the D:/SyMenu so perhaps it's a conflict? One thing I'm unsure of, when using this Extension Manager, does it simply open files activated via SyMenu or is it meant to work system-wide? For example, should I be able to click on a PDF in Cubic Explorer and it opens the app specified in SyMenu's Extension Manager? Or does it only work if the file has a SyItem and is opened within SyMenu? It would be a great addition if full on system-wide file associations were possible via SyMenu, LiberKey achieved this, but I found it a bit complex As it was only a short lived thing I couldn't be bothered to figure it out! Thanks
