Hello,
I am running Windows XP SP1. When I right-click on a file (such as a .txt or a .rtf) I am not getting the 'print' option. I have a printer installed which works correctly, and the files that I right-click on are associated with an application (i.e., .txt files with notepad). I have checked this feature on every win xp machine I have seen and I always get the 'print' option when I right-click on a file -- except on this one machine.
This is causing an issue because I am have a vb app which uses a shellexecute command (windows api call) to print .rtf files -- and this is the only machine where this command does not work (I do not get any errors, it just runs the code and doesn't print the file). I know that the two are related -- the missing print option, and the non-functioning api call.
Is there a security or registry setting that I am not aware of that addresses this, or a missing .dll?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
ernesth
