^^ You can try to save the file at some other location and then use Replacer to replace the original shell32.dll file present in System32 folder and System32\DLLCache folder.

Hey VG , have a problem !! The problem is that I wanted to add the view menu and the name thing ( http://www.askvg.com/how-to-add-your-name-in-desktop-context-menu-in-windows-xp/ ) to my context menu !! I did everything , saved the file , restarted my computer but no name and no view menu ,. I checked the file and the ID was not 28674 but was 0 and the line " MENUITEM "Shanmukh", 33333, MFT_STRING, MFS_GRAYED | MFS_DEFAULT " was there too !! But the name and view menu are not visible !!
