Flex/Flash Builder stand alone has a duplicate "Open Resource" menu

Question

I've seen an issue a few different installations whereby the Open Resoure menu open in Navigate appears twice, which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't disable the CTRL+SHIFT+R shortcut to it.

I've seen it affect both Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4, but it only seems to affect the standalone version when it is installed after the plugin version. Re-installation doesn't seem to help.

I recently spotted the answer posted by Kammerer on a related question, but it doesn't appear will in search results. I'm reproducing the solution here, but please vote up the original answer if this answer helped.

1. Open %FLEX_BUILDER_HOME%\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone_3.0.214193\plugin.xml
   • %FLEX_BUILDER_HOME% is the installation directory for Flex/Flash Builder
   • Requires elevation on Windows Vista/7
   • The version number may not match the above
2. Search for com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone.navigate and comment out (or remove) the entire <actionSet> ... </actionSet> node that contains it
3. Save the file
4. Run %FLEX_BUILDER_EXE -clean
   • %FLEX_BUILDER_EXE% is FlexBuilder.exe or FlashBuilder.exe, depending on your version
