Hi Bertil,

Installing a differnet version is not an option as I simply do not like nor
trust anything corel has produced since. So version 7 is used because it is
the last Borland version.

I can confirm that the BDE has absolutely nothing to do with this at all. I
am using version 5.2 which was intentionally installed prior to Paradox
going on the machine.

What I really need to find out is where the text is being stored. I am of
the opinion that is should be in the registry as I hope its just a bunch of
shortcuts which launch Paradox. I certainly hope the programmers did not
take it upon themselves to link Windows Explorer to Paradox in any semi or
otherwise manner.

So does anyone know where the text is actually stored.
Leslie.

The problem is with the Paradox Installer. It is not compatible with the XP
registry. I had the same problem. If you look for Paradox in the CSLID
area --Mine is at {421CBA28-18D4-101B-8D01-04021C007002} -- you will find
that InprocServer32 references PCWSHELL.DLL. This is where the references
are stored. Unfortunately, there are no updates to this DLL.

I disabled all of the references to this CSLID and got rid of those blank
spaces which was bugging me.

I din't suggest you should use a different version than P7, but
installing e g P9 will fix the Explorer issue.

Text should be stored in PXWSHELL.DLL, as suggested by Chuck. Note his
typo.

If it is an install on XP issue, maybe try setting the app
compatibility on the install executable to NT4_SP5 and reinstall.

I loaded Paradox 8 on my one of our other machines and found that the
contextmenu only supports "Run" & "Design" for all file extensions.

Thanks Chuck,

I was hoping the solution would be simple but again a programmer somewhere
made life just that little bit more difficult - So I'll live with it.
