    #5486473 - 04/06/06 12:46 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Whenever I right click on something.. say on any file in my computer and control panel (windows XP) .. I get the little hourglass thing like its loading.. then it just freezes like that and I have to crash the window. I can right click fine on the desktop, in web browser, etc.. but not in my computer etc... wtf?

My guess is it's a problem with one of your shell extensions. Use ShellExView to selectively disable them and see if you can isolate one which is causing the problem. If it just started happening recently, you could also run system restore and revert to an earlier configuration. If that doesn't work, try running sfc /scannow to replace any corrupt system files. As a last resort, do a repair install of Windows.

Hope this helps,

-Y

You could try running a different shell and see if the problem persists, might help narrow it down a little.

List of shell replacements for windows XP

You can run most of them just by ending the explorer process in task manager, and starting them by going to File/New Task

in the screencap I'm about to take of this, I'm running the BBlean shell, started using the method above
