Re: Desktop context menu whitespace

Thanks for the reply and I've done some digging into the registry and
removed the other context menu handler and tried turning on/off any
other ones using ShellExView, but still the same issue. It is still
the same as before only affecting those context menus outside of using
explorer (i.e. desktop) even when there is nothing other than default
windows context items other than TSVN.

It's not so bad when its just the normal context menu (right clicking
desktop) but when you right click a file and the menu gets filled up
with other context menus (winRar etc) most of those become impossible
to fully read.. and when you have to negotiate submenus which have all
been widened by this whitespace it can get rather awkward.
