I am getting this error every time I right click on an EXE or try to pin
something on the Start menu. Some files I can right-click on. This seems to
limit itself to EXE or image types.



Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp
0x47918e5d, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp
0x4791a7a6, exception code 0xc0000374, fault offset 0x000b015d, process id
0xa0c, application start time 0x01c8e45e0ace158f.

Any ideas how to fix this? This is VERY annoying.

Mark,

This is a good start. How do I run an admin-enabled CMD when it errors out
when I right-click it?

Thank you for your help!

You can enable the default "Administrator" account with the command:
Net user administrator /active:yes
Then restart as that account, and run 'SFC /Scannow'

Dave,

I ran the scan that Mark advised. I am not 100% sure that fixed it, but it
did improve the situation. Now the only time I get this is if I right-click
on an EXE or on something in the Start menu. The right-click on the Office
documents or any image file now works.

I downloaded the tool and when I filter on file type, there is only two
entries for EXEs -- open and runas. I disabled both but still get the error.

I do think you are on to this. There must be something in the right-click
that Vista does not like. However, I am afraid to turn everything off. Am I
looking at EXE right-click options incorrectly? I would expect more menu
choices.

Thanks!
Michael

Have a look at this article from Ramesh's site:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm
If you don't have any luck maybe you should do a system restore.

Dave, that was it. Thank you so much.

Here was the offending registry entry:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CmdLineExt]
@="{F0407C3D-349C-42B9-B83E-821E31623DF9}"

It linked to this DLL: C:\Windows\system32\CmdLineExt.dll

I can't tell if it is a virus or not. The Google searches were inconclusive.
(For example, http://www.file.net/process/cmdlineext.dll.html.)

Regardless, I can now go back to coding. Thank you very much.

Michael

Did you install Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath v1.01 patch
recently? I did on 7/9/2008 and my XP Pro. SP2 (even SP3)'s
explorer.exe crashed with ntdll.dll!

I disabled and so far, no more crashes!

Absolutely! That is it? Not only have we had problems with the game, now I
find out it caused this? I am NOT happy with EA right now.
