Strange Windows Explorer behavior
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Bill on 25 Jun 2010 13:52 XP Home SP3: With the 1st incident of Windows Explorer following any boot, a "right-click" on any object will cause WE to "not responding" hour-glass and require a Task Mgr "End Task" to terminate WE. Subsequent use of WE behaves normally. What might be the cause of this strange behavior? Thanks, Bill

From: Bill on 26 Jun 2010 17:48 Thanks Donald, there was indeed a faulty Shell Extension. It was easy to find with Shexview, plus the fact that the faulty extension corresponded to the last thing that got installed, namely Eraser.
