"Right Clicking" a drive in "My Computer" Fixed!!!

[Guest]

I posted my "right clicking" problem a few days ago and when I checked on my
post a couple of days later 2 or 3 people had responded. Anyway the advice
fixed my problem so maybe this will help someone else. I am pasteing part of
the thread here:

FIXED!!!!!!!

Well, I went in and deleted all of the non-MS keys in:


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\......

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\....

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers...

And now I no longer have a "Right Clicking" Problem. I couldn't beleive
it!! Now I can right click on any drive I want to and everything works as it
should. I am going to re-insert each .reg key that I deleted, one at a time,
and figure out which one is the culprit. I will post it soon!! Just give me a
few minutes and I'll make another post.

Continued:

It Was the "Spy Sweeper" Shellex causing my problem. I had made a .reg file
of all the keys that I deleted and , one by one, double clicked on them and
checked my problem again. after I re-entered the "Spy Sweeper" .reg key my
problem re-appeared. So I deleted it again, and checked my problem again
(right clicking on a drive in "My Computer"), the problem went away again.

I just want to thank everyone for their posts. Your advice helped me a great
deal. Thank you very much!! A job well done!!!

you have it sorted and thanks for the update. But your original thread was
enough. )

Interesting to hear which specific one it was, thanks for reporting
back.

And glad to hear all is well
