Re: Cannot open file/folder properties in Windows Explorer

Hi Gold,

This might be a shell extensions problem. See "Method 2" here:

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:

I can no longer open file/folder properties in Windows Enxplorer (Vista Home
Premium) -- neither by right clicking on files or folders, or selecting
various menu options to get into file/folder properties. For example, when I
right click on a file or folder in Windows Explorer, I get a message that
"Windows Explorer has stopped working," followed by a message that "Windows
Explorer is restarting."

This problem is relatively new -- probably occurring within the last three
weeks.

I would appreciate any insight or help anyone could suggest to solving this
problem.

Thanks.
