Hi all,
Been using Ultimate for a while and other than the slow(er than XP)
boot, it seems fine.
One little annoyance is when I right-click some shortcuts within the
start menu (start/all programs/xx) it crashes explorer. E.g., if I
want to delete an item directly from the start menu by right-
click/delete.
Happened when I first installed Vista and is happening again with a
clean install.
It doesn't happen with all items - only with direct shortcut links to
the executable. E.g., a folder may have a shortcut link to a help
file, a licence file, and the exe. It's only the latter that will
result in a crash via right-click.
I've tried mucking about with security settings for start menu items
and it makes no difference.
I can go in via explorer to C:\Users\xxxx\Start Menu\xxxx and right-
click the same shortcut and delete the menu item without an issue.
Only happens via Vista Start Menu button.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Mick
