folder context menu hangs

Post by feralkid »

Hi,
I'm having a intermittent problem with folder context menus. I have not identified any special circumstances or environment in place when this error occurs. I run xplorer2 in 2 pane mode (no tree). When I right click a folder I get the -busy- cursor then I get the -busy in background- cursor then a hang of xplorer2. At this point I have to use task manager to kill xplorer2. On restarting xplorer2 the problem has reoccurred. This doesn't appear to be a problem with a specific folder (seems to happen on any folder).The problem has not happened in windows explorer.

I'm looking, I guess, for suggestions on tracking this problem down. It could be a registry problem. It could be a xplorer2 problem although I've seen no other posts on this.

My last post got a number of helpful replies so I thought I'd try again! :)

is this only for x2 or explorer too?
check your shell extensions, one of them must be the culprit
