Click to expand...

Are you using the right-click/rename process? Right-click problems are
usually caused by third-party entries into the context menu. The free
ShellExView is invaluable for troubleshooting this. See:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

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

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

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