#8 Ability to right-click on a zenworks shortcut

Right-clicking at Zenworks items works now! :)

Tested with Classic Shell version 4.2.1 and Zenworks Agent version 11.3.1 (and 11.3.2).

Great job! Thanks!

The problem is that the ZENworks shell extension implements only the bare minimum of the functionality to be able to work inside Explorer, and doesn't follow all the rules for a well-behaved extension.

The problem has been reported to them: http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-discussions/endpoint-management/zenworks/configuration-management/zcm-11/zcm11-agent-deployment-windows/473693-problem-zenworks-shell-extension-post2299424.html Hopefully they will fix it. If you have a support agreement/contract from Novell for ZENworks, do tell them about this issue and request them to fix it.

We have this same problem too. I can right click on ZenWorks items elsewhere in Explorer with no issues. Or if I exit Classic Shell, I can right click on ZenWorks items within the All Programs menu with no issues. However, when Classic Shell is running, I have the same issue as the original poster of this ticket.

The only work around is to go into the Personalization control panel and change to the Windows Classic theme. I would love to make this work with an Aero theme enabled.
