Hi again, Andrew. Can you send me one more screenshot of the options you see now, when right-clicking on your Dropbox files?

Hi Walter , I don't think that's a problem as it appeared in the first menu when I first installed and and the first time I right click - there is nothing else in that menu and as per my screenshot of the registry it's in the top 15 as requested anyway?
