  • Right click then open does not open programs.

    I usually double-click my shortcut icons on the desktop to open a program and this work very well.

    However if I right click contextual menu appears, but clicking on 'Open' or highlighting 'Open' and pressing on enter will not open the program. There is a slight pause but no action.
    All the other context menu actions work.

    I do not use the menu 'Open' a lot I usually just double-click a shortcut, but I am aware that this happened some time if it isn't always.

    Any ideas on how to fix this inconvenience would be appreciated.

    You're welcome, all the best for you.

    I had the same problem, I think he appeared with version Firefox 20.0
    That's how my right click menu resembled http://prntscr.com/z0k15
    Half of the links on this subject did not.
    Reinstalling firefox did not help.

    Problem was caused by the FIREBUG Addon 1.10.6.
    Problem is solved if I disable and re activate firebug. I hope that newre version of firebug will fix the problem.

    EDIT: FIREBUG 1.11.2 fixed problem. It seems that firebug is not updated autoamticly, you must remove the old addon and reinstall the new version.

    I was on facebook and remove an icon by using the right-click menu, but then all my photos and pictures of profile, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in the browser, so it's something I've done in Firefox. How can I unlock a site?

    If you select that right click menu context then you block all images from this area and not a specific image, so do not use that.

    • Check exceptions in tools > Options > content: Load Images > Exceptions (for example sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)

    You can use the following steps to check if the images are blocked:

    • Click on the "More information" button to open the "Page Info" with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
    • Go to the Media of the window tab "tools > Page Info.
    • Select the first link of the image and scroll down through the list with the arrow down.
    • If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.

    Hello

    A defective Explorer shell extension in the right click menu seems to be the problem. It could also be linked to the third-party software.

    Follow the method 1 and method 2 to resolve this problem.

    Method 1:

    To check if the problem is caused by a third-party application, put your system at startup boot and see if right click works fine then.

    See this article for more details.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Method 2:

    To see if the Explorer shell extension is corrupted or not, open the registry editor and save the selected branch, remove managers of context menus one by one.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    Open the registry editor and save the branch selected, delete management context menus one by one.

    To access the Registry Editor:

    (a) go to start and type regedit.exe.

    (b) managers of context menus are located in

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\shellex\ contextmenuhandlers]

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\contextmenuhandlers]

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\contextmenuhandlers]

    (c) select 'Register' - 'Export register', so you can restore your changes later. Choose to export only the selected branch.

    (d) now remove a context menu Manager after another, and then every time try (Windows Explorer) if right click works again. In this way, you should find the faulty extension.

    (e) when you've found, you must double-click on the .reg created above to restore all shell extensions and then only delete the faulty extension.

    Also check the properties of sensitivity of touchpad and mouse under the controls of the mouse.

  • Left SHIFT key of the T40 reveals context/right click menu?

    Hello all-

    On my T40, on which I recently got properly installed, Windows 7 has a curious behavior:

    When I press the left SHIFT key, it works the same as if I had pressed the right button of the mouse.  It works otherwise, I.e., then its use to capitolize a letter in an e-mail, the letter is capitolized, but as soon as I let go of the SHIFT key, the context right click menu will then appear.

    It's extremely annoying, because I can't continue typing until I sailed out of the menu.

    I checked to see if the keyboard customiser utility is the cause, I have currently my left Alt key works as a button of Windows, but it does not ask this question.

    Anyone have an idea how I could go about fixing of this?

    Thanks in advance,

    G

    Too bad.

    Had the customizer of keyboard configured to use the time left as the key to the application key.  Duh.

  • By selecting 'Open in a new tab' right-click menu does nothing

    I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now is meaningless.

    When I right click on a web link, and select 'Open in new tab', nothing happens. No tab opens.

    However, I see now countless options irrelevant for that link, such as 'copy the audio location', 'copy the location of the image', 'play', 'pause', etc., when the article I have clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other type of media. The content of the right click menu is now longer than my entire screen, completely out of place for the link I'm clicking on and the only option that is relevant does nothing.

    How can I fix?

    I had the same problem. I found that disable Firebug in my Extensions menu solved the problem, so when I right click it appears the menu of standard options rather than the new options 100 or so which do not apply.

    If you have installed too much Firebug, you might want to give this a shot. I have not upgraded my Firebug in no time so it might be a problem with running an older version of it.

    Hope that helps

  • Brush control with CTRL + ALT + click right + mouse/pen movement does not work with the tool liquify (photoshop cc 2015): what should I do?

    Brush control with CTRL + ALT + click right + mouse/pen movement does not work with the tool of liquefy; I can't change the size of the brush or hardness. OS win 7 Professional 64 bit, wacom tablet intuos 6.3.14 - 1 driver s pro, Photoshop 2015 CC worm.  2015.0.1 20150722.r.168

    What are your settings of GPU acceleration?  As I understand it, the Alt right click size and hardness adjust needs acceleration GPU to be turned on, but I have a feeling Brush hardness is always set to easy when using fluidity.  You can still see the quick mask as representation of the soft brush when Alt right click, but you can't change the hardness.

    Is that you can change the brush size and pressure (framed in red in my screenshot) Alt right click drag left and right changes size and down to pressure changes, and you can see what is happening in real-time by looking at the sign on the right.  It works independently of your acceleration GPU (IME) settings, but you don't get the effect of soft red quick mask.

    Does this fit with what you see, or you are not able to change things at all?  If not, then I've always found that fluidity consumes system resources, if you could check the Task Manager > Performance tab to see what kind of RAM and CPU use is using the fluidity.  That's what I see after direction the lens above with a big brush continuously for 10 seconds.  Note This is on a fairly quick NLE System.
