• Data execution prevention-window Explorer error when I try to access the windows Explorer, and more particularly when I try to watch videos.

  Original title: data execution prevention-window Explorer error

  Data execution prevention launches when I try to access the windows Explorer, and more particularly when I try to watch videos. So I tried to turn off DEP for windows Explorer. Now, I can access my videos, but they all have text on them that says video PHOTO, & www.jpg.com. I have not downloaded new software recently, so I don't know where it comes from. I ran my antivirus sofware and malwarebytes, and my system is to come clean. How can I remove this from my videos? Thank you!

  This isn't how to diagnose and repair the DEP errors - especially not Windows Explorer DEP errors.

  Hi Beakbryce,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I see from the description of the problem that you are unable to check how much free space there are on a drive and an Explorer Windows locks when you try to check the same.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

  To provide the proper resolution, that I would need more information on your side.

  1. do you receive any error messages?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer before this problem?

  This behavior can occur if the there is a conflict between third-party applications, or if there is no corrupted system file.

  Method 1:
  Let's start with the computer in Mode safe start to check if the problem occurs in Mode without failure. If the problem does not occur in Mode safe, then you can try to set up your computer in a clean boot state to find what startup item or service is causing the problem.

  Step 1:
  To restart in Safe Mode follow the steps.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  If the problem does not occur in Mode safe mode, and then try to perform the clean boot.

  Step 2:
  To perform Clean boot follow the procedure below.

  By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest that you run SFC [System File Checker] scan on the computer that could scan all protected files to verify their versions to verify if there is any changes made to the files and if there is no corrupt files. And will replace them with the correct version.

• Slow extreem Windows Explorer with a right click on the name of the file

  My Windows Explorer is extremely slow when I right click on a file in there. But only when I have the network connection is active.
  I found the reason that on the MS page http://windowsxp.mvps.org/rcdelay.htm but I can't apply the Advisor inside. It shows a very old version of RegScaner and when I run it I get a lot of folder of registry which begin by-string. I'm afraid of making a bad choice!

  It would be nice if someone could guide me on this matter, please!

  You probably don't want to disable one at a time.  Try groups of 20 or 30 at a time.  I'm not sure you need restart between trials.  Some extensions of the sample I tested were immediately disabled and right click on a file did not show the options for this extension.  It wouldn't surprise me that you will not be able to disable each extension.  Work with those that you can and see if something helps you.  Look in the 'File name' column and suspect that any file that begins with "------" or a drive letter that does not correspond to a hard drive on your system.

  If you do not want to use RegScanner, do the same with Regedit.  Run Regedit (start-> Run-> 'regedit'), simple click on 'My Computer' to select it, make an edition-> find, enter your------the field search and click "next".  It stops at the next occurrence.  Press the F3 key to find the one that follows after that.  I think you will find that there are many references to '-', some occurring in places that you probably want to touch.  Unless you know what you're doing, editing the registry can be dangerous.  Always back up the registry first before making any changes.

• Lots of windows cmd appear when right-clicking!

  So, recently, I was using my computer very well. I went in a folder of mine and right click on it, to create another. Then, against all odds, lots of windows command prompt open for a split second then closed. This also occurs when a right click on the desktop.  They make it impossible for me to do many tasks, such as going to the properties of a file, because they deselect files when they open.

  I really need help - because of this problem, I can not work properly!

  Hello! Thank you for your answer!

  I tried the 1st and 2nd method that you asked me. However, the problem persists after you run the two. Do you have other help that you could give me?

  Also, I should probably mention that I recently installed a program (GitHub) that messes with the context menu, adding additional options of its own. Maybe that has something to do with my problem?

  -UPDATE: I have unninstalled the program mentioned, and the problem is now gone! Sorry for wasting your time looking for such a simple response. Thanks anyway!

• I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file.

  Original title: registry exe problem

  I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.
