Hi,

Can anyone advise why my notebook freezes when I right click on my
desktop. I see the egg timer and everything becomes inoperable. Only
way out is to switch off my laptop by holding the power button down for
a few seconds. When restarting my notebook always checks the hard disk.

Nothing new installed recently and I have MacAfee antivirus&firewall
installed.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks
Ash

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
