Windows Explorer Crashes On Right Click

[FrankF]

Ever since I installed XP SP2 I have found that right clicking a folder, especially a drive in "My Computer", causes Windows Explorer to crash.

After about six weeks I stumbled upon a web forum that suggests the problem is actually caused by Webroot Spy Sweeper... not SP2. Anyway per the forum suggestion, I started Spysweeper and unchecked the "Add Sweep for Spyware to Windows Context Menu" box in Options. That fixed the problem. :cool:

Your first and most glaring problem is that you use Windows Explorer. :P

Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) is the application that controls your Windows desktop. It is not the same thing as Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe).

I meant in the folder function, not the entire desktop. I use Opus Directory, for example.
