DeskTop Hangs up

Hello,

On my freinds pc he is experiancing a slight hang up on the desk top when he right clicks on something..like a folder, to cut copy and paste or send to.

When he right clicks and then moves the mouse up to the desired command such as send to.. no options come up on where to send the file or folder to and then the pc locks for a moment.

There are no viruses, bugs or trojans as I have scanned for everything imaginable and found nothing. The rest of the pc seems to be responding fine.

If any one has any ideas/suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
FireDancer

 

Sounds like a malfunctioning shell extension. Use shellexview to sort by type, and start disabling context menus until the problem goes away. I'd recommend disabling everything not from microsoft and working forwards. Outside chance its a 'system' or a 'property sheet', but probably a context menu

JoeHobart,

Thanks that shellveiwer worked great, I was able to find the culprit and disable it all is well now.
