File system freezes when I right click on an icon

When I use the file system whenever I do a right-click on an icon, the whole file becomes unresponsive. Even when I try to use the Ribbon at the top to - for example, create a new folder - it freezes.

Any ideas?
Thank you.

    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated pedro147

    None of these suggestions to the Microsoft support technician will help you, but they will consume large amounts of your time.

    Please post a link to this Marilyn Microsoft engineer answer Support responses involving some registry maybe going to I can see that too.

    Older versions of PowerDesk Pro 7.x are known to cause explore crash, so that the sounds on the right.

    The current version of PowerDesk Pro is 8.5.

    You might be able to get the old version to behave by disabling PowerDesk one shell extensions at a time until when you right-click Explorer no longer crashes.  This will leave you with limited functionality of PowerDesk since those afflicted extensions will be disabled, but you should not have these extensions to do anything, you need to make sheets.

    I would start with the PowerDesk ZIP shell extension (I already know about this one).

    It is a version shortened and changed my notes on the use of ShellExView (since you already think sheets):

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the column header for Microsoft sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are on top and easy to see.

    Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.

    For example, you could Google something like:

    Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on.)

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    Right click and disable Microsoft no suspicious extensions one at a time take a list so you can enable them again later if you wish.

    The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to behave, you will know which extension is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

    Don't forget - disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled so you can always turn it on again.

    Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.  You can then start to reactivate other extensions to zero on the extensions that are causing your accident

    If the cause of the accident is a third party application or program, their may be a later version of the program available that solves the problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

  • Restore My Documents on the submenu when I right click on an icon

    I have a VISTA operating system.  When I want to send a file in My Documents, I right-click on the icon (e.g. Word) and the submenu ' send to ' appears, but miss me the My Documents item. He was there as well as the recipient of the message etc.

    HOW TO RESTORE THIS ITEM IN THE SUBMENU?

    This was copied from http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/98/1/How-to-Add-Items-to-the-Send-To-Menu-in-Windows-Vista.html , and is just what you need in order to add the Documents item or any other item that you want (you should add and not my Documents because My Documents is not a real file - it is a junction point - and should not be viewed or changed in any way or you can create problems in your system).  My Documents has been used by XP, but it is now called Documents in Vista.  The old My Documents in Vista is there only for backward for compatibility for programs produced before Vista or where programmes have not caught up with changes in system (even fairly recent programs).  If you are using XP I'm not sure these procedures (or those provided bv Spirit that go well beyond what you asked but good information however)) won't work because the two systems are very different at this level - case can't even try * just after back or better yet just go on the Forums of XP for the support to the : http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsxp...

    Adding items to the send to menu

    The menu send to in Windows Vista contains the following by default:

    • Compressed (zipped) folder
    • Desktop (create shortcut)
    • Documents (NOTE: don't forget yours isn't already here before you add another - it should be and I don't know why he disappeared)
    • Fax recipient
    • Recipient of the message
    • Floppy drive (if present in the system)
    • Discs DVD-RW/CD-RW (If it is present in the system)

    To add a destination to the send menu, you must add a shortcut to the SendTo folder. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Click on the Start button and one of the two commands below, type in the search box:

    Shell: sendto

    -or-

    %AppData%\microsoft\windows\sendto

    • Press ENTER. SendTo folder of your user profile opens.
    • On the file menu, click new, and then click shortcut.
    • Follow the instructions in the wizard create a shortcut and create a shortcut to your favorite program. A new shortcut is created in the SendTo folder, and it is displayed on the send to menu.
    • Repeat the last three steps for eah element to add.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Cursor freezes when I right click on a file

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (with all latest updates)

    32-bit operating system

    IE9

    Whenever I right click a file (all), the cursor freezes with the waiting round circle: then I have to go to Task Manager and complete the task under applications to continue to work. To bring things back to normal, I have to restart, but after a while the cursor starts to work again. It is terribly annoying, because I very often work with the menu drop-down list by clicking index right files and regularly use the paste, cut, rename, and delete functions. This problem has happened recently. I have checked my virus from the system and nothing presented. I also realized all the maintenance tasks. I used Nirsoft ShellExView to disable/enable types "contex menu" for all software except those that relate to Microsoft and still have the problem.

    Please advise, thank you very much.

  • Is there a way to remove the icons on my desktop without deleting the associated files when right-clicking on the icon does not offer this option?

    Most of the icons that appear on my desk I have download the new application files can be removed without uninstall or remove related files.  But when I right click on the icons that appeared after reinstalling Panda Internet Security and download of Adobe Reader software to date there is no option to remove the icon, there is rather a prompt asking you if I'm sure I want to move the file to the trash - which I did not.  When I look at 'properties', I see that the location for the two is my office.  I'm trying to reduce the visual clutter, is it possible to do?

    Hello

    Click right icon - properties - general tab - Type of file - if it is a LNK then it's only a
    Shortcut and if you DELETE it then only it is removed and the underlying program is not
    affected. To see where the program check the tab shortcut - target:.

    If she is not a LNK and is a. EXE, com, bat and others so if if you delete the file
    (which is not a shortcut) and then the program will not work. Shortcuts usually have ARROWS
    on them in the lower left corner.

    For programs that are stand-a-lone (were copied on the desktop and not installed) you
    can make files elsewhere and copy them (and other parts such as.) DLL or. CFG
    only as examples and some will have no other room) to then remove them from the
    Desktop computer. If you have any programs that were installed on the desktop, you need to uninstall
    them and their re - install elsewhere.

    It could be Aproblematique with shell extensions. Try ShellExView
    ShellExView v1.65 - Shell Extensions Manager
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView is effective to solve the problems of right click.

    Download and run it. It will scan the registry for all shell extensions. Once the analysis is complete, and the list is displayed, you need to identify the managers context menus. Click on the "Type" column header, so that managers of context menus are displayed together.

    The rule is to disable context menus not Microsoft managers (in shades of light color) * by * and see if the problem is resolved. If a deactivation does not resolve the problem, undo the disabled item and disable the next Manager non-Microsoft. Repeat until the problem is resolved and finally to identify the culprit. Scroll to the right to see the column name of the company ShellExView.

    This problem is likely to make for an extension of the shell badly installed on your machine.  The way to solve this problem is to download and install the free software "ShellExView".  When you run this program, it displays all shell extensions that are installed on your machine with a checkbox next to it.  By unchecking the box, you can disable this particular shell extension.  By trial and error, you can find the one that is causing your problem.  Once you find it, the solution is usually apparent (usually UN-installing and re - install an application associated with this file extension).

  • When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen begins to blink and I have to do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.

    * Original title: Steve M.

    I have My Documents on my Windows 7 desktop.  When I click the icon, an icon My Documents Shortcut.link then appears next to the My Documents icon.  When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen started flickering and I mus do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.

    I tried to remove the My Documents icon, but who only 'pretending' in the file recycle.  Of course, I don't want to totally delete the My Documents!

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Although it is strange that the location of your documents is

    C:\Users\Steve\Doc

    Instead of

    C:\Users\Steve\Documents

    This result shows that the "My Documents" icon on your desktop is a shortcut and not the actual file with your documents.  The icon on your desktop has a blue arrow, like this:

    If you delete this icon, you should get a message like this:

    As long as the 'shortcut' word is in the message "Are you sure", everything you delete is a shortcut and not your actual files... so go ahead and delete it.  You can then create a new shortcut or just use the 'Documents' shortcut located on the start menu:

  • When I right click "save image under" on a JPG file, I get no response at all. How can I fix?

    I use Firefox on Linux (Fedora 20, KDE desktop) 34.0. I checked on the Mozilla download site and it says I have the latest version. When I right-click on a JPEG file to save it, I get the option ' save image under... ". ", but when I select it, nothing happens. The file will not download. I have searched google fixes and tried all of the following characteristics, by supporting documents Mozilla, all with no change in the response:
    -Change the download folder
    -The relevant preferences in the about.config folder reset
    -clear history of downloads
    -Run Firefox in Safe Mode
    In addition, I checked in the preferences that the jpeg image is set to "always ask".

    All other references to this problem seem to refer to problematic plugins, but safe mode control reveals this is not my problem. Any idea what the issue might be and how I can fix this problem?

    Save the Image under does not work? Try turning off just the add ons that affect downloads.

  • When I right-click to save an image it won't let me save the image otherwise that as "all files".

    When I right click on an image to make a backup because it won't let me save the image in jpeg format, what is on the menu drop-down is "all files" that records under a bunch of numbers and letters, etc. It save it as an aspx file.

    Try to add the .jpg file extension yourself if Firefox does not when you save an image file.

    If you have already saved images with an incorrect file extension, then rename them and add a .jpg file extension. Check the properties of the file via the context menu to see if that worked.
