[1.8.7] Incorrect reg keys for context menu

Post by alexis.coutinho »

The "Add 'Browse with XnViewMP' to context menu" toggle isn't working properly. When adding the menu entry, the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\XnViewMP key incorrectly has a DefaultIcon subkey instead of an Icon value. And when removing the menu entry, the same HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\XnViewMP :bug: key is left behind. :wink:

In Windows 10, Icon value works, DefaultIcon key doesn't (doesn't show icon next to "Browse with ..."). The context menu entry for right-clicking a directory has an icon because it's correctly configured, for example.
