Display problem with PopMenu

Keywords:     popmenu display

Question:

When I right-click an icon on my desktop, the dialog box that pops up extends the entire width of my screen. The menu items work as advertised (Open with..., Two Explorers side-by-side...,etc), but the dialog box obscures the entire bottom half of the screen. Suggestions?

Answer:

This is a Microsoft bug. There are two ways to fix it.
  1. Download powertoys from the Microsoft site and install the "shellfix" item.

  2. Or modify your POPMENU.MNU so that there are no single menu items hanging off a higher level menu item. Adding a second one avoids the bug.
