Explorer.exe crashes by clicking the context menu items

Hi guys,.

I have XP Professional SP3 and when I right click on a file and select a voice as 'open' or 'open with' from the context menu, explorer.exe crashes...

The description of the error event is (in Italian):

"Application che ha provocato error explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.5512, modulo che ha provocato error unknown, version 0.0.0.0, address error 0 x 00000000."

By further information, using the guide in linea e supporto tecnico all' address http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. »

What can I do?

Thank you

I'm sorry that I can't read your beautiful Italian, but problems with a right-click are most often caused by a third-party software that inserts entries in the context menu. You can fix the latter with ShellExView free utility.

Make a right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menus management - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm

  • What happened to the context menu item 'Add album artwork' in iTunes 12.4?

    I love the new version 12.4 (return of the sidebar). What happened to the item of the context menu add album work?

    Someone tell me where to find it.

    If the command get Album artwork , it has not seem to be an equivalent command in the menu bar that applies to only one song (or a selection of songs).  Not in the main menu bar or anywhere else.  The command in the menu bar to file-> library-> Get Album artwork is available, but this action applies to your entire library.

    However, if you put your music library in the Albums view (to display the view with the album 'tiles' of the work in a grid), I noticed you pouvez with right-click an album and get the cover.  I think that this applies to all the songs on the selected album (or albums).  I guess that's "a" logical, given that missing album art are generally for all the songs on the album.

  • Explorer.exe crashing - related to the user account?

    A week ago my computer started to sometimes get an APPCRASH explorer.exe error that displayed. No idea what caused it or started.

    It happens randomly (or apparently) but I can also re-create this error at will by doing one of two things:

    (1) running any program of fullscreen (games)

    (2) / off turning one of the system icons in the options menu "taskbar and Start Menu Properties-> area-> system Notification icons.

    I am running Windows Vista SP2 64-bit.

    A side effect of this error is that my quick launch on the taskbar icons have a messed up display, sometimes they are blackened, sometimes they are cut in two, sometimes they appear in the wrong place.

    ALSO worth noting, is that it occurs only under my main account to connect. I created a separate account and it does NOT suffer this error and the two methods to recreate listed above fail.

    I found 2 other assignments with the same error message. I tried all the fixes on both without success.

    Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

    Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

    Another option could be to consider the establishment of the hierarchy of the following registry keys in the registry:
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe\
    In the explorer.exe key, create a REG_EXPAND_SZ value named DumpFolder and set the value to%systemdrive%\localdumpsdata.  Ensure that the %systemdrive%\localdumps file exists, and then cause the crash to happen.  It must be a dump file in %systemdrive%\localdumps. Download the dump on your SkyDrive file and provide a link.

  • "Edit in Photoshop Elements" missing from the context menu of windows.

    How can I get the 'Edit in Photoshop Elements' in my context menu? I think what happened was that after installation of PSE 13 I uninstalled PES 12 and who removed the context menu item. Just guessing. Is it possible to add it without reinstalling PSE 13?

    Right-click on a photo file of the type you want to open in PSE. In the context menu, right-click Open with to open the menu. Select "Choose default program" and in the window that opens, select PSE 13 if it appears in recommended or other. If it is not displayed, select Browse and navigate to the PSE 13 .exe file in programs/Adobe/Photoshop Elements. If you want the files of this type to be always open to post-secondary studies when double-clicked, check the box "always use the selected program." If you want to PSE 13 only appear in the open with menu, make sure that the box is not checked. Click OK.

  • How to add "Look it up in lexicon" to the context menu?

    Hi all! The title says it is in fact... When I highlight a word in a text donnΘ, is possible to add an item to the context menu - > search in the lexicon or Contextual menu - > Services - > search in the lexicon (or whatever it may be called).

    I mean by local "lexicon" built in the dictionary as part of Mac OS (El Capitan in my case).

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Try to open system preferences > keyboard, look in the tab shortcuts.

    Title services in the sidebar, there should be a section 'search' with an option to activate the context menu item 'search in the dictionary'. Allow it to appear in the right click menu "contextual".

    p.s. This is an earlier operating system, it may have changed.

  • Explorer.exe crashes when access to the context menu of any file character 1 long

    I use Windows XP SP3 and Explorer keeps if crush when I access the contextual (right click menu) not any folder that is one character long (a - z, 0-9).  For example, the folder labeled a will fail if it contains files or subfolders, if there in any directory, if it is on another drive, on the context menu.  In addition, in order to exclude any invalid context record, I have disabled all non-Microsoft tool ShellMenuView context menus.  I also tried to run Fixit 50043.  I also did a scan antivirus with norton antivirus.  Found nothing, no improvement.  It is 100% compatible.  BTW, I have already run System File Checker, and asides from this problem my system is perfect.  Everyone knows about this problem?  Any ideas on how to fix this problem without having to re - install XP?

    This applies only when the folder is labeled 1 character.  I don't know how the visual c ++ runtimes into play with explorer.exe in the context menu.  Re-don't install C++ runtimes for 2005, 2008, 2010 shows no improvement and install it with success.
    I get an error in visual c ++ runtime library.

    Nevermind, pretty sure winmount was the culprit.  Somehow, he escaped ShellMenuView, I disable the integration of shell of in the program and the turn is played.

  • InDesign CS5 crashes when you click the Edit menu or the context menu

    I had this problem with InDesign CS4, infuriating some references to other people having the same problem, but never real solutions found.  This problem seems in InDesign CS5.

    When a document is open, if I have the Edit menu or click anywhere in the document window (including in the area of cardboard... it is to be on an object), ID immediately freezes and I get the dialog box Windows 7 "Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working".

    I've deleted preferences, created a new document of a page, and the problem persists.  If no document is open, I can pull down the Edit menu very well.  When a document is open, ID crashes before it even to call the menu.  It does not matter that I use the mouse or the keyboard to access the Edit menu.  I can also right click on things like the tabs in the palette to bring up the context menu.  But I can't right-click anywhere on the document itself without ID crashing.

    The maddening thing is that the problem has not shown until shortly today.  I grew up effects of an object window via click many times, but also use the context menu of fitting.  It was working fine last night and this morning.  Then suddenly no visible reason, the accidents began to occur.  I'm not aware of any change to my system that could reasonably be expected to cause this.  No new fonts, no update of Windows, no updates of Adobe.

    Any suggestions on if not, how can I solve this?

    Brian,

    I noticed when I Open Office started sometimes my InDesign blocks exactly in the same way that you described. Because the programs work secure storage space I realized that the only thing that connects them is Clipboard.

    Sometimes if you ctrl + c some common OO sheet, by access to the menu edit InDesign content or content, InDesign crashes at the same time. In edit & menus command "Paste". InDesign checks Clipboard (I assume it does) and some Open content in there Office actually planting.

    That's how I see it.

  • "Send to..." 'Recipient' disable the context menu in Explorer for JPG does not or not broken.

    Problem on VISTA ULTIMATE 32.  I have all the latest patches. It's a laptop ASUS M70. Default email course is Windows Mail.

    In the Windows Photo Gallery, when I select a photo, then click on "messages" then that nothing happens.
    In Solution Explorer, select a JPG photo, and then I can either 1) click on "E-mail" or 2) via the context menu, select "send to" followed by "Recipient" and appears "attach files" box that allows me to resize the jpg file. If I want to, I can cancel it with success. However, if I select "join" then it shows "Preparing to send" and just hangs there.  If I cancel (after say 1 to 10 minutes), it hangs there doing nothing with the message «Cancel...» "indefinitely.    If I cancel the application "attach files" in the Task Manager, it lowers the Explorer.

    What is going on? What I want to do is ' send to ' 'recipient' some resizing photos (via the context menu in the Explorer). There is no problem to send other files e.g. *.mp3.

    I just noticed that (even if an instance of "Attach files" is 'preparing to send' or 'Cancel') it will work properly if I do not resize. In other words, if I want to send the original size. While so-called to resize JPG? Is it an idea to my problem?

    Hi MikeW404,

    As it works fine in safe mode then there could be some third party software installed on the computer are contradictory in normal mode, I would say that you clean the clean boot procedure and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Perform the check and the clean boot if you have the problem.
    1. click on Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    3. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.
    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.
    5. click on OK.
    6. When you are prompted, click restart.
    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved to check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:

    Reset the computer to start as usual
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  • Add the "Print Directory Listing" option to the context menu of Windows Explorer

    Get the error message when you try to use the "Print Directory Listing" solution found in:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us on my new Windows 7 system (from February 2010).

    Could create the context menu of Windows Explorer for the task, but selecting just results in the following error message:

    "This file doesn't have an associatd with her program to perform this action. Please install a program or... to create an association in the default programs control panel. »

    Wentback and checked my Regedit work.  Even deleted the new key and she recreated (just in case.)

    NOTE: I had successfully used the instructions in this article to add "Print Directory Listing features on Windows XP systems, so I reviewed these instructions to see differences and noticed that it * no. * 'associate' step for Vista/Win7 in the article, but this step still shown for XP.»

    And, there seems to be NO WAY to associate a program (in this case, a ".bat") with all of 'record' as target.  Only choices I see these in the 'control panel default programs ' are'. [extensions] "and the protocols.

    So I'm puzzled.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    SJ Pratt

    I just tried this with instructions to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us link you provided and it worked fine.

    In view of the error you get here are my assumptions to what may be the problem.  Please try these out and answer:

    -Because it denounces, "file doesn't have an associated program.." I would make sure that when you created with Notepad the file .bat you na not to create a file called 'Printdir.bat.txt' or 'Printdir.bat.some_bad_extension '.  If your Windows Explorer settings are set to hide file extensions when you look at a file name, then maybe the REAL file extension you give the command file is being hidden on your part and Windows does not know how to open a file with the extension hidden type.  Make sure that you can see all the file extensions and make sure that the batch file is named with the .bat extension.

    -If you see very well all the file extensions in Windows Explorer and your file is called really Printdir.bat, make sure that you have saved in your root directory of Windows.  If you access %windir% you see Printdir.bat inside there?  If this isn't the case, put it there.  If you do, when you double-click the .bat file Windows run without error and print the dir?  If it works, you know that the batch file works correctly.

    -There's a typing error in the instructions for Vista/Windows 7, check that your registry entries look like this:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print directory Listing\command

    This shows the new key under shell called "Print Directory Listing" and inside this key/folder another folder/key named "command".

    To within the key/folder 'command', it takes only one entrance with the name of (by default).  Double-click (default) and make sure that its value data is set to:

    Printdir.bat %1

    -You shouldn't need step "the associate" in Windows 7.

    -You can add "Add Print Directory Listing to the context menu of Windows Explorer" for the title of your question so that others can find it.

  • Just updated to 38.0.5 and now when I right click on a bookmark to edit, the context menu is grayed out and it won't let me. Why?

    I read a lot of web comics, so I change the bookmarks for them on a daily basis on the last page on each site. I just tried to do that tonight after you install the 36.0.5 update, now when I right click on the bookmark in the menu, I have yet to get the context menu, but all the options are greyed out. He was most certainly not in this way the last night before the update. That is what it is?

    Oops, it's probably the bug to customize. After using customize it, most of the items on the context menu are gray to the bookmarks Menu in the classic menu bar.

    It does not affect the button drop-down bookmarks menu *, and it does not affect the bar Favorites (Ctrl + b). And if you launch a new window (Ctrl + n), he works on the menu bar, too. Very strange.

    I don't know when this is going to get it fixed but at least you know a few places to access the properties for the moment.

    Thanks anyone for any help.

    Win 8.1 64

    Very strange.
    Make a right click on the email list should open a menu drop-down.
    Usually a line crossed through something means that it is marked as deleted in an imap e-mail account.

    See if there is a conflict with an add-on.
    Restart Thunderbird in safe mode.
    Help > restart with disabled addons.

    then run the same test; Right click on the email list.
    Do you get the drop down, if so, then one of your addons is the origin of the conflict.
    You'd have to disbale each in turn to find what the problem is.
    Maybe the addon should update.
