Hello all,can anyone stop me going insane,My PC has suddenly started to go into full freeze whenever I right click on my desktop or in my documents,the hour glass comes on and stays on & on & on & on & on,I then have to either restart or log off and log on again,someone advised me to d/load "shellexview" which I did but it seems very hard to understand,they say freeze is caused by "context menu handlers" or "property sheet handlers" or "Icon handlers" ..this is way above my head,but I have been trying to sort it for weeks,I don`t want to disable files that I am not sure about and make the situation worse,,,Helppppppp..Mayanbilly

If you find ShellExView too difficult, then take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigStoreUSA). I'm sorry, but ShellExView is the easiest way to
troubleshoot these issues. You are looking only for context menu
entries that are not from Microsoft.

It's great that you want to learn this yourself. Your number one
learning tool is Google. Use what you find in ShellExView as a search
term and do the research. This will tell you what the items are and
whether they are crucial.
