Saved Groups for Explorer tabs cause error popups upon restore

from Stardock Forums

I created a bunch of tabs with just Explorer and grouped them together under name "explorer".  Closed the group, later tried to restore group.  Just get a bunch of errors as if Groupy thinks these are applications instead of paths controlled by explorer.exe process.  One of these errors for each tab:

 

<path>

This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action.  Please install an app or, if one is already installed, an association in the Default Apps Settings  page.

 

The groupy logic does all specify that the OwnerProcess is explorer.... they all look like this:

[GroupyEntry1]

OwnerProcess=C:\Windows\explorer.exe

RunElevated=1

Target="C:\bin\gw2_taco"

MatchingClass=CabinetWClass

 

Not sure what's  going wrong.

 

thanks,

ok, I made a smaller test based on what basj had in a similar(?) thread  https://forums.stardock.com/493459/page/1/#3741703  . 

Apparently RunElevated=0  allows most to be restored (couple tabs jumped out into their own window for some reason, while the first five or so were grouped).  Note that I did nothing special when creating the group; Groupy itself had created my original file with elevated set to 1.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more.

1) Windows version, use Winver.exe for full version numbers.

2) Groupy version.

UAC was set to "Never Notify"; I never changed this.  This was the setting after i installed Windows 10.

Are you saying that Groupy makes new groups with RunElevated set to 0 for you and being set to 1 by default is unusual?
