adric Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 After installing the latest version (205.315) of Defraggler on an XP/SP3 system, I noticed that I cannot use the shell extension option. Anyone else notice this or know what the problem is? Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I don't have this option either, perhaps it's only applicable to then shell extension option enabled by the installer?? Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I installed with and without the option enabled. No difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Anyone else notice this - - - ? Also crippled on my Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a bug then, not sure if this is an XP only issue since I don't have access to Vista / Windows 7. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted June 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 2, 2011 Windows 7 as well. I think they turned it off while they work on it. (NOT AN OFFICIAL COMMENT!!!

adric Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Shell extension still not working with the recently released version (206.328). Can someone from development comment on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted July 8, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm on XP and the option becomes active if you uncheck the "Save all settings to INI file" box. It seems the option won't work unless it's saved into a registry entry. EDIT: Just shows the usefulness of a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that works, although I do not see why ini needs to be off for the shell extension to work. When Defraggler is installed, it makes certain entries in the registry anyway, so this should not keep the shell extension from working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to disagree, but with ini on, the installer still adds stuff to the registry.

Moderators DennisD Posted July 9, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2011 You've scanned the entries for CCleaner there, not Defraggler. Easily done. Defraggler does have a small number of entries in the Registry, but all program settings are kept together either in the INI or the registry location. Can the shell extension setting be separated from the other settings and located permanently in the registry, or can Defraggler be made to set the shell extension on/off state from the INI file? I've no idea. One for the devs. On a separate note, I think all this toggling on and off has got Defraggler chasing it's own tail because now, whether or not I have the shell extension checked or not, I still have it in the right click menu, and when I use it I get this ... I think I'll try the support forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
