When I right click of my mouse on an icon on the desktop, Adobe wants to install

When I right click of my mouse on an icon on the desktop, Adobe wants to install.  How can I keep it from happening?

Hi DarrylPranger,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2 when was the last time it was working fine?

3. only happens with the desktop icons?

4. He's trying to install Adobe flash player or Adobe reader?

Method 1

I suggest you uninstall flashplayer from adobe completely from the computer and then reinstall the latest version and check if this solves the problem.

Note: If his tent to install adobe reader may uninstall and reinstall.

Uninstall Flash Player

http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/141/tn_14157.html

Download the latest version of adobe flash player

http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/

Methode2

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

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

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    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.

    I appriciate if you would kindly solve this problem

    Windows 7 Starter Edition does not have the wallpaper to change - its design and not a problem with your PC.

    If you want this installation, you can either use the 3rd party hacks/software (which I do not recommend) or pay for an upgrade to a higher edition of Windows 7 Home Premium.

    This is not a built-in feature. Have you used any of these extensions:

    You might first check the addons page to ensure that it is not disabled. Either:

    In the left column, click Extensions. On the right side, off the cluster of extensions at the bottom.

    If it is enabled, it could be a problem with some of the code in the extension is not compatible with Firefox 40, or one other extension it bumping from the context menu.

    Thanks for the info.  The process suggested that the moderator of the Forum about the clean boot and isolate the entry under services in mscongig allowed me to isolate the file at the root of the problem - in my case the rules of WD.  I uncheck and applied at this point, but I'm not sure what problems this may cause in the future.  I guess it's related to Western Digital and will attempt to communicate with them.  Once again, thank you for the help.

    If so, the only remaining possibilities are:

    Hello

    You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

    After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

    Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards
