#289 Cascaded context menu doesn't expand when using "Everything" search engine

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run the System Integration wizard in Peazip under Options.  Make sure Peazip is set to display a "cascaded context menu" (tick the box.)

2. When browsing files in "Everything" search engine (by Voidtools) select any file or folder.

3. Right click and try to open Peazip's context menu item.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Peazip's context menu should expand but it will not open at all within "Everything".  However it works fine in Explorer and FreeCommander.  The "Send to" and "Open With..." menu entries work well.  The context menu items will only work if they are not cascaded.  No other tested software has this problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Peazip v5.1.1
Everything v1.3.2.649b (and earlier.)
Windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

No options in "Everything," nor command line tweaks in its .ini file seem to help.

Starting with Windows 7 Microsoft introduced a new model for creating cascaded context menus, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144171%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Existing software using system's context menu entries should be updated to parse this type of context menu elements.

UPDATE:

"Everything" v1.3.3.658b.x64 works!

(NOTE: The x86 version still doesn't work.)

However, it is in beta testing, so I thought this report was worth posting for those who need to use the official version of "Everything" -- version 1.2.1.371, or ANY x86 versions.

I also tested the x86 version of Peazip (since I use x64 normally.)  It worked great when paired with "Everything" x64, but not with "Everything" x86.

"Everything" x86 seems to be the villain but, strangely, I've been using it for 6 years and no other program has caused this problem.  I like Peazip a lot so I'm glad to find a solution.

Thanks for your attention and hard work!
