When exploring my media folders on the PC (which is home-built to keep 
it slightly on-topic!) the "Play all" link on the left-hand edge of the 
explorer window does not work. You can click it but it just doesn't do 
anything. Annoyingly I can select all then right-clik and choose "play" 
which works fine.

Just done a fresh install and installed SP3, all fully up to date etc, 
with WMP11.

What gives?

Yes I had already checked that.

I spent some time on it today and read that it could be caused by a 
"poorly coded context handler", so I got ShellExView and disabled each 
one at a time and found our that Magic ISO Maker was the culprit. Once 
un-installed the play all common task now works again.
