Cannot right click files

I can't click one of my folders or files.  Pop - up screen comes that "Windows Explorer has stopped working" then my icons and files disappear and pop and then go back to my main screen. Need help, why I cant right click anything?

Hello

Troubleshooting problems of contextual Menu (right click) are a process of eliminating exercise.

Right-click accidents are usually caused by part 3, shell extensions which you can refine
with ShellExView. See "Method 2" in this article for more details

Make a right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menus managers
http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/slowrightclick.htm
and here:

Manage the entries in the context menu for files, folders, disks, and objects in the Namespace
http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/context_folders.htm

The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions installed on your computer, and
allows you to enable and disable easily each shell extension.

ShellMenuView is a small utility that displays the list of menu items which appeared in the
context menu when you right click on a file/folder in Explorer Windows and allows you to easily
disable unwanted menu items.

  • Cannot right click Windows 7 Explorer of files to generate the copy of the file names in a Notepad or Excel-compatible file. HELP REQUESTED!

    I struggled for several hours to restore the service right click that I used to have XP to Windows 7.  I need to save lists of file names such as displayed in the file Explorer. Allowing you to right-click and save files in Notepad. This option has been removed in Windows 7 and anything put in place to restore it.

    I have lists of items in the inventory and need to copy and paste the image corresponding to a transfer sheet to allow the server names to match images in article SKU.  The file names are long and typing is a complete waste of time.

    I used to be able to find them in the Windows Explorer, right-click on the directory and generate a txt file that I could open in Notepad or Excel.  -Easy.  Now right-click only allows an export in an uneditable image in ONE NOTE. This is useless for me. I can't do anything with an image file - I need the editable data.

    Is there a solution?  I need only the file name and extension, not the full path, in a text or spreadsheet document propagation.

    I had used the Microsoft solution to install their dose without knowing the final format was a NOTE image file format and not a simple txt file. I try now too write the batch file:

    %windir%\Printdir.bat

    or edit it in order to keep the file in Notepad and do not make the final conversion into a single Note.

    The problem is that the fix from Microsoft, designed to fix this problem, has placed the conversion file in the root directory and it cannot be overwritten.  I refused the possibility to delete, edit or write the file due to the requirements of administrative privilege mandated by the security of Windows 7 too much.

    So if anyone has a solution to every problem - that would help - I am very tired and frustrated and not happy with Microsoft.  Their zealous concern with security made their unnecessary programs for me and have further discouraged me to convert to the windows 10. frustrations and nightmares are waiting for me there I can't imagine.  What I really want to do at this point is to go back to XP.

    He ate five hours of my day. I don't have the time to fight like that. I am trying to be productive, but all I got are monumental technical walls and roadblocks - often designed into the system. Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it.

    Found a solution on a Web site:

    http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-print-a-directory-tree-from-Windows-Explorer.html

    They said it was for VISTA, but worked for me under Windows 7. You will need to use Notepad to the command prompt and select run as administrator to save the file in the root directory.

    Thanks for the help.

    Cheers.

  • Base installation of firefox works fine, but if I add an add-on I don't click on the Firefox button and cannot right-click. Even if I add a theme or a character, it is the case of the joints.

    I can't right click or click firefox, or one of the menu buttons. If I disable the Add-ons, it works fine. How can I fix it?

    If your problem is not moved in Mode without failure, likely due to an acceleration of the extension, theme or material. Follow the steps in Troubleshooting extensions and themes:

    • Disable hardware acceleration
    • Put yourself in the default theme
    • Disable all extensions
    • Test for faulty extensions

    ... while checking after each step to see if the problem persists.

    Windows prevents your notebook computer touchpad click while you use the keyboard.  You can disable this option in your laptop settings application by assigning "without delay" as shown here.

    You don't have to say why you cannot right click, but you can go to bookmarks > organize bookmarks, then click on the bookmark not desired, then press on delete (or the key from context menu on the keyboard that works as a right click).
