Right Click - Freezes, Help!

Help! Going Nuts, every time I right a file or folder in explorer, system
freezes, task manager ends the program OK. Seems this problem commenced
after I downloaded the new beta version of Internet Explorer 7. Coincidence
perhaps? Any ideas would be appreciated. Bob for Down Under.

You must to have a corrupted file. It seems that it is not your mouse files,
because you say the problem appears only with Explorer, so, it must be
something related to your new IE. I would install it again.

In the future, if you feel your post should be in more than one newsgroup -
please cross-post as opposed to multi-posting. It makes it easier to follow
as a thread for you and those who might respond. You increase the chances
that the thread get a proper answer - or discussion about the answer - going
if it is cross-posted.

You installed a beta software on a production (utilized for more
than just testing) machine?
Life lesson. =)

Have you tried to uninstall Internet Explorer 7 BETA?

How do I uninstall the preview?

To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview and return to Internet
Explorer 6 on Windows XP
1.. Click “Start,” and then click “Control Panel.”
2.. Click “Add or Remove Programs.”
3.. Check “Show Updates” at the top of the dialog box.
4.. Scroll down the list to “Windows XP – Software Updates,” select
“Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2Preview,” and then click "Change/Remove."

If "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview" does not exist, run
%windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst.exe. You need to have "view
hidden folders" enabled. %windir% is your Windows installation directory,
which is normally 'C:\Windows' on most systems.

Kindly advise what "cross posting" is, will be appreciated, thanks!

Cross-posting is addressing a single message to two or more newsgroups.
Multi-posting is send the same message separately to multiple newsgroups.

Multi-posting just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one
newsgroup doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And
for those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they
see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once
if you correctly crossposted instead).

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across multiple
newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
