Hi, I have had an option on my files and folder on Windows 8.1 x64 in the past that allows me with a right click to go to the file's location easily. After following the guide here I could not get it to work on all files. I have tried using tools from here and here to do this from here however none of them work.

Methods used so far with no success:
  • Registry edits as per the Shawn Brink's work on the sevenforum here (same as the one mentioned above)
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu]
@="{37ea3a21-7493-4208-a011-7f9ea79ce9f5}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibraryLocation\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu]
@="{37ea3a21-7493-4208-a011-7f9ea79ce9f5}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Results\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu]
@="{37ea3a21-7493-4208-a011-7f9ea79ce9f5}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.symlink\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu]
@="{37ea3a21-7493-4208-a011-7f9ea79ce9f5}"



I noticed this strange behaviour on same file types and different ones as well. Windows installation was clean and done a few days ago. Also tried a dism /restorehealth and sfc /scannow for corruption and all come back clean. This is not a windows corruption problem.

Any help would be appreciated!
