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.

  • Folder opens in the search window and not file. left click and it opens in search right click then 'open' and it will open in the window of the folder. How can I open it directly with by clicking on the left button of the mouse

    I've created the new folder. When I left click it open in the search window.  If I right click on it, drop-down box and select open and it opens on the window of the folder as it should.  How can I get the folder to open in the right window when I left click rather than having to do the extra step by clicking on the right, and then open?

    The DELETE key or right-click delete suddenly does not remove a messsage.

    Restart Thunderbird and then they both work.

    What should I look for?

    File is not very large and simply restart brought the function.

    But, as a note aside, I don't have the problem in the last two days.

  • Right-click to open the jpg in photoshop disappeard

    Greetings,

    Not sure why the option 'Open with' disappeared while trying to open a jpg or png format in Photoshop cs6.  Scenario - I have photoshop cs6 open a new document, I train.  I go to my bridge and attempt to open a jpg file in photoshop cs6 I want to add to my document.  Previously, I was able to right click and open it directly in photoshop cs6.  However, as I said first of all, the option with a right-click to "open with" for photoshop cs6 is not displayed, but Adobe Illustrator cs6 is still.  Until recently, the open option with photoshop cs6 was always available.  I don't know what I could have done to make the photoshop cs6 option disappear, but it is certainly annoying.  Would appreciate suggestion on to reset this option.

    Thank you

  • 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.
