Re: right click "C" drive My Computer hangs

Hmmm curious - I had Iomega Hotburn installed as well - in fact I have just
re-installed it - version 2.4.5 Build 76 - I haven't applied the update yet
and I am still able to right click. Should I set a restore point and run the
update????? Hmmmmm..............
