What's new in ContextEdit 1.2

Jan 21, 2008
  • Fixed a bug that caused the program to get stuck in an endless loop when reading the registry if it encountered a circular reference (specifically, an extension key whose default value contains the name of the same key). The program also presents a warning message when you select such a key in the master list. This rare situation doesn't cause any problems for Windows itself, so ContextEdit doesn't offer to repair it.

New in ContextEdit 1.1 (Jul 13, 2007)

  • If a critical error occurs during its initial scan of the registry, the program now presents an error message before shutting down.
  • Fixed "Unable to access the registry" error when attempting to edit existing Shell Commands or create new ones on Win95 systems.
  • Added "Expand environment variables" checkbox to the Command Editor dialog. This box will be enabled only if the system supports this feature (Win95 does not).
  • Fixed problem with program continuing to report associations as "broken" even after they had been repaired by the "Move to master file type" procedure
