Been having some wierd problems. Hopefully sommeone will have an
idea.

When a click on a program in the start menu, explorer shuts down and
restarts. However, if I drag the program to the desktop and click on
it the program opens just fine.

If I open windows explorer and right click on a file, explorer shuts
down and restarts. Have there lost all context item availability.

Would appreciate any thoughts on this, no matter how strange.

Thanks.

Gary

Download the spinning cube from Ubuntu. It's a magic cube. It will give
you magic wallpaper and a magic world.

There is just one problem, you will have to join the magic circle first.

Alias

I'm not stupid by any means but your answer refers to a question I
never asked. If I wanted information about Ubuntu I would have asked.
In stead you bollixed up my question with a troll answer.

Many no thanks.

This program might help you, it lists shell extensions:
[url]http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html[/url]

Any non-Microsoft context menus will be highlighted.
Click on the column headers to sort into groups.
You can disable them one at a time to try things out.

Pleasse accept my thanks. Your link led to a way to solve the
problem. It was a bad context handler. Uninstalled the program it
belonged to, then reinstalled it and all seems to be well.

Thanks again.

Gary

Your diagnosis of alias is correct. There might be another Alias who is not
a troll. Or maybe not - it's confusing. This one is faking the other's
headers, AFAICT.
