Hi

In Windows Explorer or any other program, when I click the File menu,
the program hang until I uses the Task Manager to end the program.

Anybody know the answer to this one?


Thanks!
 
These issues are often caused by a bad shellextension (especially a Context menu handler).

Download ShellExView from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/shellexview.html and run it. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions. Once the scan is over and the list is displayed, you need to spot the context menu handlers. Sort the results using "Type", so that the context menu handlers are displayed together.

General rule here is to disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers *one-by-one* and verify if the problem is solved. If disabling one does not solve the problem, undo the disabled item and disable the next non-Microsoft handler. Do the same until the problem is solved and finally identify the culprit. Scroll right to see the Company Name column in ShellExView.
