Re: Cannot right-click files or shortcuts in Windows Explorer or deskt



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

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled

In news:9FC5E87E-4B1E-489E-BA2F-722021BCAB77@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Ant. <wyvern_ant@xxxxxxxxxxxx(donotspam)> hunted and pecked:
If I try to right-click a non-folder item in Windows Explorer or on the
Desktop, Explorer fails and Desktop re-initializes without any error
messages. If I have a non-folder item selected and I click on the file
menu in Windows Explorer, same thing. Double-clicking to run or invoke
associated application works OK.

I CAN manipulate files by using the Files and Folder Tasks to the left in
Windows Explorer, or by dragging them (to the Recycle Bin for instance).

Suspect I am missing a DLL somewhere but no idea what. Unwilling to
re-install XP because I only have upgrade version, to completely
re-install I'd have to load Win98, upgrade and lose all installed
applications.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
