Reset "Browse in Bridge CC" in windows context menu

[ianbutty]

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.

Does no one have an answer?

Have a look at these registry entries using regedit :-

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge\command

Yup that did it.

Thanks

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

[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.

Thank you! This worked well in Win10, however, after installing Win11, the right-click Browse in Bridge is gone again. The entries are still in the registry. What now, please?

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
