Windows Explorer closes and restarts (?) when I right click on a file photo.

One time, I installed a software to go with a slide scanner. The software changed to the default program for photo files and then proceeds to seize up after that about 12 slides have been scanned. I removed the software, but every time I do a right-click on a file photo, jpeg, gif, bitmap, etc., or try to open the file menu when one is highlighted, close all Windows Explorer Windows and icons in the taskbar and desktop disappear for a while. The last two return after a minute or two, but not all open windows. Other programs such as Internet Explorer or MS Word are not affected.

I suspect that the defective scanner software installed an entry in the context menu. Search for it and delete it using the ShellExView free program:

    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).

  • Just updated to 38.0.5 and now when I right click on a bookmark to edit, the context menu is grayed out and it won't let me. Why?

    I read a lot of web comics, so I change the bookmarks for them on a daily basis on the last page on each site. I just tried to do that tonight after you install the 36.0.5 update, now when I right click on the bookmark in the menu, I have yet to get the context menu, but all the options are greyed out. He was most certainly not in this way the last night before the update. That is what it is?

    Oops, it's probably the bug to customize. After using customize it, most of the items on the context menu are gray to the bookmarks Menu in the classic menu bar.

    It does not affect the button drop-down bookmarks menu *, and it does not affect the bar Favorites (Ctrl + b). And if you launch a new window (Ctrl + n), he works on the menu bar, too. Very strange.

    I don't know when this is going to get it fixed but at least you know a few places to access the properties for the moment.

    Which doesn't seem to be the problem?

  • 'Always available offline' is not visible when I right-click on a file in the network.

    I assumed that putting computers in a home group could solve the problem, but I get an error that IPv6 is not available.

    Connectivity IPv6 is not supported by my router (linksys WRT150N).  Y at - it solution or a wireless router that works?  I am running Win 7 Pro 64 bits on a computer and Win 7 Pro 32 bit on my laptop.  I can see the network files and transfer them OK.

    What I really need to work is the offline files feature.  When I see the network files and right-click on the files, the option 'always available offline' is not visible.  I have to be in a homegroup for offline files work?

    Hi DickCookVS

    If the offline files option is disabled, you will need to enable it, if you want to work with files offline to a network folder.

    a. open offline files by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type offline filesand then in the list of results, click manage offline files.

    b. on the general tab, click enable offline files.

    You will need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    try restarting your router and restart the computer. Check the TV menu that
    the TV has a valid IP address. Make sure they are on the same network.

  • Registry access denied when I right click on a file to copy

    original title: registry access denied

    I reinstalled Vista family premium, a few weeks ago and now whenever I try to open certain programs is to say (iTunes, Autocad, MS Office) I get a

    Message: registry access denied.

    I also get access to the registry refused whenever I did a right click on a file to copy.

    The account I'm logged as definitely is an administrator account. I changed the owner of the C: and all files on my admin account. When vista was reinstalled the installation program was initially assigned the owner as trusted Installer.

    I also tried to set up another admin account and I get the same error under this account.

    Is could someone please tell me what I need to change to get the stop to receive this error message. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply Rami

    I had already made A step.

    All my documents, etc. had my account admin as the owner of the file, but when I went in the C: and through the steps of A which was where the Trusted Installer has been listed as the owner.  I had changed it, but he did not set the message boxes to come whenever I loaded a program or trying to copy a file (the program would be the load and copies the files if I clicked ok in the Message box).

    I couldn't do step C since there is no restore point to go as I wiped the drive and reinstalled Vista.

    Step B - I ran and he has a message to check the log file in c: Windows/logs/cbs, that I didn't have access to read the same file with admin access.

    To fix it, I finally just reinstalled vista again and this time I do not get the Message box registry errors when opening programs.  The c: once more the installer of trust as owner, but the rest of the files are under my account.  I don't ' know
    What is different, but it works again without these errors of annoying message box.
