[kepler-dev] File Menu Problem

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Anne,
I have not seen this one before.
Try searching the net for "could not get shell folder ID list".
It looks like a somewhat mysterious bug.
There are some suggestions about trying different things with the registry.
There is also a suggestion about using some fallback code from Jython.

Can you post a complete stack trace?

Thanks,

_Christopher
