Windows Explorer right click problem
Windows Explorer right click causes it to encounter a problem and close.
Initially I tried disabling recently installed shell extensions in the context menu with ShellExView to no avail. I then repaired the win xp installation. Still no change. What to do now? Help appreciated. John. |

Download and save this registry file on Line 349 - Right Click - Error http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Then open it with Notepad by right clicking on it and choosing Edit. Open the registry editor ( Start Run type in regedit press Enter or click OK ) and compare the reg file'settings to the registry settings. If they differ, then either manually edit the registry entry or just right click the .reg file and choose Merge. Remember, to be on the safe side, *always* back up any registry key that is going to be edited.

Unk Duh, thanks for wising me up, I thought the entry on the left related to the problem, shows how computer literate I am. I created a restore point then since right click is busted I double clicked rightclickspy.reg. Presumably this merges its contents into the registry. Unfortunately after a reboot the problem is still there. |
