• I have a problem on my windows xp sp3 operating system when I right click any icon I got accident error?

  I have a problem on my windows xp sp3 operating system when I right click any icon I got accident error? This is the summary of errors:

  AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512

  Please help thanks :D

  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).

  Hello

  Sorry we don't communicate via this forum.

  You need a real antivirus because these are the two antispyware. You have the PCtools antivirus
  on the computer or just their toolbar in Internet Explorer?

  -------------------------------------------------

  If there is no antivirus on the computer here is what I use and recommend (except for one
  program like Prevx, you don't want more than one antivirus on the computer program
  much less running because they interfere with each other and lower security). Each combination
  of her below you will warn of malware without toolbar from PCtools running online.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are alll free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Media Player 11 - right click "Add/enqueue" option missing - cannot load the contents of the folder

  Hello

  Windows Media Player 11.0.6002.18005 for my Vista 64-bit system worked very well for me.  I could right click on any folder containing my Mp3 files and select 'Add to the reader' or 'enqueue' and it would then open and read my files that are in the folder.

  However, for some reason this right click on the option is now missing from my right click menu.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Thank you!

  Alright!

  It's a simple solution... I had apparently made a universal change to display the parameters of the files from my Vista, and it removed the 'Music Details' option in the combo box with area to "Customize" options files in the properties...

  I just changed the "Music Details" option for the kind of file, I want it to be... and voila!  .. "Add to Windows Media Player play list" and "Play with Windows Media Player" options are available again for me via a right-click on these files.

  W000t.

• How do I remove items from menu click Law Office Vista "menu right click Desktop.

  Two different Office except food icon programs added that their shortcuts on my desktop Vista right-click menu.  I want to delete the shortcuts of the program, I like the least from the Vista desktop right-click menu.  I can't do it by uninstalling the program because I don't know which program is responsible for the shortcuts that I want to delete.

  Hopefully someone will know how to do this, thank you.

  If you are referring to the "Save Desktop Icon Layout" and "Restore Desktop Icon Layout" menu items to the desktop right click menu, Layout.zip could have been installed on your computer. You can use the Uninstall.reg file (included in layout.zip) to remove entries from the context menu. See the link below:

• Windows explore crashes on right-click

  Whenever I do a right click on a file in Windows Explorer, I get a message that Windows Explorer has stopped working and then it shut downto the office.  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a gateway GT5228. It has 2 GB of ram and unused 140 GB hard disk.  I've been running Vista for about a year and the problem just started a week ago.  I hope someone has a suggestion because at the moment I can't delete or rename anything.  I ran a software antivirus and anti spyware and found nothing.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  Hi ranma100,

  Right-click accidents are caused by third-party shell extensions. You can use the excellent ShellExView to isolate the problem. For more information, see "Method 2" section right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menus management. Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Desktop Experience]
