Re: Right-click has gone awry

Thanks Joe. Why wouldn't this software be "signed" since the site is "MVPS"

Hi,

I started to run CCleaner which I do periodically, and was notified of an
upgrade which I downloaded and installed. I set a Restore point before the
install.

Everything seemed okay with the install and I ran clean ups on Windows,
Applications and the Registry. I have done all three in the past many times
with no problems. I also saved the registry entry backup to my desktop before
the final deletion of the registry changes. I have two such entries on my
desktop now.

Once all the cleanup was done, I right-clicked on a text file I have on my
desktop and the following message appeared,

“Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience”.

If I right-click on another item immediately after receiving that message,
then the Active Desktop Recovery occurs with this message

“Microsoft Windows has experienced an unexpected error. As a precaution your
active desktop has been turned off. To restore follow these troubleshooting
tips".

I am able to restore using one of the tips.

I used my System Restore point which was before the install of the CCleaner,
but my right-click still does not work and gives the same error messages.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:
