Re: Windows Explorer problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Ramesh,

Disabling the unknown handler via ShellExView did not fix the problem.
I just had another Runtime Error when clicking a file.

Any other suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

Thank You

Seeker

Ramesh,

Once again, thank you for your response.

The article on Shell Extensions reminded me that I am technically
challenged, and I need to leave such things to the experts! :):)

I did follow the second method, and downloaded and ran ShellExView.

All but one of the non-Microsoft handlers belong to programs that have
been on my system for years, such as my Anti-Virus, WinZip, WinRar,
and others. I did disable the one I do not recognize.

There is no immediate way for me to know if it helps or not, since my
problems arise so randomly and unpredictably.

If it does provide a fix I will let you know (and if it doesn't I will
also let you know!)

( I somehow doubt that this item is the cause of the problems. It is
dated May 2006. Since it has been on my system for so long, I cannot
see why it would suddenly cause problems.)

I appreciate your efforts, and will let you know one way or the other.

Thank You

Seeker
