Explore and hangs (not Explorer)

[Guest]

When I go in explore by right clicking on start then clicking on explore,
every thing is fine. Now if I want to create a new directory on any of my 3
hard disk, I click on C drive for example then click FILE to click after NEW
then FOLDER. Foget it. The minute I click FILE, explore HANGS.

I think that probably Hard disk is conflicting between them. My C: is
Master, My F is Slave and my G is single. But the G is USB. And even is I
unplug my new USB drive, I have the same problem. Should I make a repair from
the windows XP CD ?

Windows has an explorer.exe and an iexplore.exe; it does not have
explore.exe - If you have such you have malware (virus or spyware).

Problems with right-clicking are usually caused by third-party programs
putting entries into the context menu, not with your hard drive letter
assignments. Use the free ShellExtView to troubleshoot your context
menu items:

And here are some other links that may help you:

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers -

Right click causes an error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
Windows XP SP2 - http://www.winxptutor.com/sp2/divxcrash.htm

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace
objects - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm

Ok I am talking of explorer.exe.

Windows has an explorer.exe and an iexplore.exe; it does not have
