Reset "Browse in Bridge CC" in windows context menu

  • May 2, 2018

Because I needed to use Encore I have had to install Adobe premier CS6 (alongside Premier CC 2018)  - this also installs Bridge CS6 (no option not to install it). Because of this the windows context menu now says "Browse in Bridge CS6" not "Browse in Bridge CC 2018" and it opens bridge CS6 not bridge CC 2018.

I have uninstalled Premier CS6 (leaving Encore still installed) but there is no option to uninstall Bridge CS6.

How do I a) uninstall Bridge CS6 and/or b) reset the windows context menu so that is offers "Browse in Bridge CC 2018" (and opens bridge CC 2018).  An option I frequently use.

Thanks

Ian.

    Have a look at these registry entries using regedit :-

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge\command

    BTW, if you are used to do right click on the empty space of a Windows Explorer folder instead of right clicking on a folder icon, the registry entry are:

     

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open in Bridge

    Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open in Bridge\command

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge]
    @="Browse with Bridge"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge\command]
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge 2021\bridge.exe" "%1"

    Thank you! This helped!

    Just to be even more clear:

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge]
    Set to: Browse with Bridge

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge\command]
    Set to: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge 2021\bridge.exe" "%1"

    Including quotes.

    Okay, I'm looking at them.  What should the values be set to?
