I did lot of thing but finally got the solution here is the solution -click start-run-Regedit-then go the following location.....HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell Type NONE in the File data box, click OK, and exit the registry editor. that's it done..Your problem will be solved. Good Luck. Solved for me: Even i faced the same problem .

For some reason I haven't been able to warm up to QuickSilver even though I was using the LazyLauncher Yahoo! widget under windows as well as Runfast (I still run both on my Windows install under Parallels.) The keyboard triggers under QuickSilver conflict with Parallels and I value the ability to Command Tab, etc. while in full screen Windows mode to return to OS X. I'm going to give QuickSilver another chance and try out the UI access plugin as you suggested. It sounds useful. Stephen, I was aware of the shortcuts in the menu but I do miss the Alt menu functionality which you rightfully state isn't in the OS X design philosophy (but would make a good addition to it!) :) There is an app I found (forget its name now) that shows you context-sensitive keyboard shortcuts. A shareware app. Will look for it again. Hey Thomas, Stephen, just a quick thank-you for your tips.

The shortcut philosophy does not include a shortcut to open the menu and then execute the subcommand. Rather each shortcut is unique and does not need the menu to be open at the time the command executes. For example, in the Edit menu a cloverleaf-C is present on the right edge of the menu when it is visible. The menu's are live, which is another way to discover commands. Open a menu by single clicking on it and while it is open try pressing the shift, option, and control keys. For example, in finder in the File menu see what happens when you press the shift, control, and option keys. Another neat thing is adding your own keyboard shortcuts using the keyboard pane in system preferences. Steve The shortcuts are visible in the menus on the right edge of any open menu.

I meant a simple way of discovering shortcuts as there is in Windows. In Windows you can see the Alt key shortcuts for every menu item and most (sometimes all) menu items have key-based shortcuts. So, I can press Alt F S for save if I don't know Ctrl S for example. Apple does a good job of hiding keyboard shortcuts. (For the record, I'd looked through the top Google result!) Thanks for the tips hints guys, much appreciated! :) Jolyron: I should’ve made myself clearer. I meant a simple way of discovering shortcuts as there is in Windows.
