Windows Server 2012 and Context Menu

Context menu does not show up in Windows Server 2012 Standard.
Registry seems to be good (Where I know to check in HKCR\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers and the corresponding HKCR\CLSID\... locations pointing pointing to shellext64.dll).

The context menu is just not showing up.
Search of forum and Google doesn't show anyone with Server 2012 issues and existing issues with context menu not showing up seem to be fixed with registry updates or ccCleaner doing it for you.

Tried with 6.2.2 and 5.4.2.

5.4.2 works fine in Windows 8. Have not tested 6.2.2 in Windows 8.

Thanks for your help.

Good thing this is a free product, you get what you pay for.

Maybe they would care if it was a paid product.

It's not a free product.

Have you tried 7.x or 8.x?
