• I recently installed PowerDesk Pro v7.0.1.3 and now, the system hangs when you right click to copy a folder, etc.

  Original title: Windows Explorer has stopped working

  My computer is running XP Home Edition Sp3 and using Norton internet security 2011. I recently installed PowerDesk Pro v7.0.1.3and now, the system crashes when you right-click to copy a folder, etc. I read on this forum of a person having a similair problem and being referred to this site offering a patch that seems to not be available:

  Marilyn answers Support Engineer Microsoft's answer also suggested maybe using some registry changes, which I'm not comfortable with because of my limited experience.

  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.

• 'Always available offline' is not visible when I right-click on a file in the network.

  I assumed that putting computers in a home group could solve the problem, but I get an error that IPv6 is not available.

  Connectivity IPv6 is not supported by my router (linksys WRT150N).  Y at - it solution or a wireless router that works?  I am running Win 7 Pro 64 bits on a computer and Win 7 Pro 32 bit on my laptop.  I can see the network files and transfer them OK.

  What I really need to work is the offline files feature.  When I see the network files and right-click on the files, the option 'always available offline' is not visible.  I have to be in a homegroup for offline files work?

  Hi DickCookVS

  If the offline files option is disabled, you will need to enable it, if you want to work with files offline to a network folder.

  a. open offline files by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type offline filesand then in the list of results, click manage offline files.

  b. on the general tab, click enable offline files.

  You will need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

• Windows Explorer closes and restarts (?) when I right click on a file photo.

  One time, I installed a software to go with a slide scanner. The software changed to the default program for photo files and then proceeds to seize up after that about 12 slides have been scanned. I removed the software, but every time I do a right-click on a file photo, jpeg, gif, bitmap, etc., or try to open the file menu when one is highlighted, close all Windows Explorer Windows and icons in the taskbar and desktop disappear for a while. The last two return after a minute or two, but not all open windows. Other programs such as Internet Explorer or MS Word are not affected.

  I suspect that the defective scanner software installed an entry in the context menu. Search for it and delete it using the ShellExView free program:

• Registry access denied when I right click on a file to copy

  original title: registry access denied

  I reinstalled Vista family premium, a few weeks ago and now whenever I try to open certain programs is to say (iTunes, Autocad, MS Office) I get a

  Message: registry access denied.

  I also get access to the registry refused whenever I did a right click on a file to copy.

  The account I'm logged as definitely is an administrator account. I changed the owner of the C: and all files on my admin account. When vista was reinstalled the installation program was initially assigned the owner as trusted Installer.

  I also tried to set up another admin account and I get the same error under this account.

  Is could someone please tell me what I need to change to get the stop to receive this error message. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the reply Rami

  I had already made A step.

  All my documents, etc. had my account admin as the owner of the file, but when I went in the C: and through the steps of A which was where the Trusted Installer has been listed as the owner.  I had changed it, but he did not set the message boxes to come whenever I loaded a program or trying to copy a file (the program would be the load and copies the files if I clicked ok in the Message box).

  I couldn't do step C since there is no restore point to go as I wiped the drive and reinstalled Vista.

  Step B - I ran and he has a message to check the log file in c: Windows/logs/cbs, that I didn't have access to read the same file with admin access.

  To fix it, I finally just reinstalled vista again and this time I do not get the Message box registry errors when opening programs.  The c: once more the installer of trust as owner, but the rest of the files are under my account.  I don't ' know
  What is different, but it works again without these errors of annoying message box.

• Extraction, when I right click on the file compressed, there is no option to remove it. What am I, I guess what to do?

  I am trying to register a new addon for a PC game and I need to extract the file, when I right click, WinZip seemed to be the only thing that could extract it, but he told me that my recording session has ended and I needed to buy it.  So, I uninstalled the program, and now I don't know how to extract the file. Help someone?

  Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to ZIP and click or double-click it to restore the ZIP for Vista file associations. The options of Vista to open and extract ZIP files must be restored.  I'm not sure how many steps depends on which is - where to start and what you expect.  Once in the site, isn't that a step - click the button to run the program.

  I hope this helps.

• What happened to the option to send a file or a folder to another folder under the options "send to", when I right click on a file?

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro.  On my last machine, I was able to right click on a file or folder, go down to "send to" and one of the options was 'send to folder '.  Now, this option is not available.  Is it possible that I can get this option in the options for places I can send a file or folder, or is it simply not an option in this version of Windows?  I am sure that I always had this option when I upgraded my old laptop to Windows 7 Pro.

  Which is now only in leModifiermenu Windows Explorer, move to folder... / / copy to folder...

• When I right click on a file to save it, Firefox saves it in my download folder without let me pick the destination. Can I get around this?

  When I save a file (by clicking on the right) when you use Internet Explorer, I'm allowed to choose the destination folder. However, when I use my default browser to Firefox (again, by right clicking), it simply records the file in my downloads folder without allowing me to select the destination. Why does this happen and can I do to save a file using Firefox and choose the destination where I save it? (My OS is Windows Vista)
