Explorer crashes on Right click on Folder - SOLVED

I had a problem where Windows Explorer would crash whenever I right-clicked
on a Folder icon. It would not crash if I right-clicked on a file.
The problem disappeared when I deleted the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PixVueContextMenu
Before deleting this key, I exported the following key to a REG file:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
Under this key, each subkey represents a different context menu handler. I
deleted the subkeys of this key one at a time. After I deleted each key, I
tested by running Explorer again and right-clicking on a Folder icon. It
was only when I deleted the PixVueContextMenu key that the problem
disappeared.
Hope my experience will be useful to somebody.
