Crash after right-click of folder 1.0.0.2 lite

I have started using & evaluating xplorer2 which I so far like pretty much.

However, at least 50% of the time whenever I right click on a folder instead of getting the context menu, I get a crash which contains exception info 0xc0000005 in xplorer2.exe modname shell32.dll.

I have Win XP Pro SP1.

Any ideas?

I also have win XP pro sp1 & when I run x2 Pro (or Lite) 1002, I cannot reproduce the behaviour you describe.

Is it any particular folder that seems to cause the crash?
Have you made any registry tweak(s)?
What other apps are running?
etc ... ?

Here's a sequence I finally can reproduce:

Select (highlight) a folder in the active pane (right panel) with the left mouse. Expand it by double clicking to show it's subfolders.

Then select (highlight) a different folder in the tree (left panel) by clicking on the different/new folder with the right mouse. (DON'T left click first then right click--just right click first).

Zone Alarm, Norton, and some other system tray apps running.

Following your steps, I still cannot reproduce your problem.
With r-click on other subfolder in tree, I get context menu as expected (no crash).
I am running Panda AV.
I have neither Zone Alarm, nor Norton.

Maybe other(s) can help?

OK, it seems to be working now. After some google-digging, I removed some of the context menu items I never wanted from apps that added extra one there, and now it seems to be working ok.

Anyway, for now looks ok again. Some of the apps that put their own context ones in there were PestPatrol, and other zip-type programs. It would be nice in XP if there were a simpler tweak-utility that would just let you modify the context menus (like msconfig or startup control panel), but I'm not aware of any.
