• 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 7 Professional 64 bit explorer.exe hangs in my computer when I right click on my hard drive. Disks appear in the Solution Explorer or eject.

  I have a serious problem when one of my windows, my main Administrator profile profiles, is very strange. Other profiles created on the computer, the administrator or standard user, all do not have this problem. The problem is when I open my computer, on my main administrator account, my hard drive is not recognized. There is a disc in the drive and it will not eject, nor will it recognize one is in the computer. The drive will appear in my computer, but there is no information on the icon about what drive is in the computer. Secondly, when I right click on it, the computer freezes and crashes explorer.exe. Once I have restart explorer.exe everything goes back to normal, but the problem is still there. I have this problem on other users on my computer. A system restore did not work, nor has a registry restored to an earlier period. In addition, everything else on the computer works fine, and there is NO virus or Trojan horses. I ran several deep scans with two different software, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Malwarebytes. I've taken I have a corrupted user profile and try to transfer my files in a new profile through the instructions from microsoft on their Web site. When I finished this profile has been impossible to obtain the necessary permissions to use files and I got errors trying to open anything. This problem has a solution, and I refuse to do a restore on a computer that otherwise does not work correctly. I would not have to re - install the operating system, or transfer my profile on a new resolution to this problem. Can someone at Microsoft help solve this problem? Thank you

  thanx

  Hello

  I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:

  a. right click on the Windows Explorer icon

  b. in the menu that appears, click Properties.

  c. in the target box, add the command line switch ' / root ' to the "% SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe" command, using the startup location that you want.

  d. for example, if you want Explorer of Windows to start at the root of drive C, edit the command as follows:
  % SystemRoot%\explorer.exe/root, C:\

  It will be useful.

• Windows Explorer hangs if I right click on an application or a shortcut.

  I have Win7Professional 64-bit. When I right click on a file or application Windows Explorer crashes saying there is error of C ++ Runtime library. I tried to remove all components C++ and re-setup, clean boot and turn off all the components and reloading slowly, start etc and still the problem persists. I've seen several solutions to the widespread enough question, but none have worked for me. Any ideas?

  I tried running the command prompt SFC, but it says that I don't have administrative rights, what I'm doing.

  I found the keyboard shortcut for the file properties and create a shortcut can be a bit tedious but not insurmountable. It is the reflex of right-click on 'something' and zap, Windows Explorer crashes and restarts with limited functionality.

  As it is a problem for a number of users, anyone got something "simple"? I can't be disturbed in the reinstallation of Windows and the hassle or redo all applications, etc.

  Grateful for any help.

  The problem could be a problematic third-party context menu Manager part.

  The following link has some info and download ShellExView you can use to selectively disable third-party management context menus to find a problem:

  http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/slowrightclick.htm

  You can try to disable all managers of context menus not Microsoft and then, if the problem resolves to reactivate them one at a time to see what the problem was.

• That is why when I right click on the Firefox icon I get a purple flag with "new private window? No there is no way to remove this item?

  I'm a prisoner of the "new private window? Is it OK if I don't want that? God is going to punish me? It certainly looks that way.

  I got Win 10 for 4 months and until yesterday, 11/10, I didn't even know about the 'new private window' and the flag purple now appears when I right-click on the Firefox icon. Someone tried to help her by suggesting new privacy settings. So I lost most of my desktop shortcuts but not the private window! I'll be back most of the shortcuts, but I'm still stuck with the purple flag company. I have a background of tech and only for this reason that I try to keep things simple. It is vital that, how did you before? Any help or clarification will be appreciated. Thanks for listening.

  The image used for the incognito in the task bar was changed to Firefox 42. Previously, the image was not colored purple, more as a lighter blue color.

• Why the function "move to new window" that I used to use does not work when I right click on the tab more?

  It was when I right click on the tab in Firefox I could use the option 'Move to the new window'. Now when I go down to this option, it seems it will work, but nothing happens. The other day I changed some options in Firefox, but I don't remember changing anything that sounded as if it would have this effect, and now I can't find all the options that seem to fix. Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello Beorn, probably the problem is an extension that is not working properly. Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  Thank you
