:smile:STEP 7: If you think you got the bad one then enable all the others and leave the bad one DISABLED and you're done. If your test fails then you've isolated the file and you'll have to CONTROL/ALT/DELETE to TASK MANAGER and REBOOT and then go back into ShellExView and disable that bad one. :smile:STEP 6: Now TEST your right click, if it works then keep them as is and go to the next group and repeat step 5 & 6. I found it easier to start from the top and work my way up to the bottom] Close out of ShellExView and REBOOT. :smile:STEP 5: Go back into ShellExView and select 5 or 10 of the files shaded in the light pink that you previously disabled and now enable them. :smile:STEP 4: Now test your right click and it should work, you'll get happy…but don't get too happy, because now comes the tedious part: the process of elimination When all the light shaded pink ones are disabled then REBOOT If they're in groups you can select and change them in groups when possible. :smile:STEP 3: Disable all of the ones in the LIGHT PINK shading, to disable them click on each one and then click on the GREEN BUTTON above – or manually change it by clicking FILE and then DISABLE. Each one is marked "no," meaning they are not disabled. :smile:STEP 2: When you get into the program, see the list of files, you are going to see some that are shaded in a really light pink shading so light it's unnoticeable and if Bob hadn't mentioned it, I would not have noticed the shading.

:smile:STEP 1: Download and run ShellExView, place it on your desktop, you're going to be going back and forth to it about 30 times However, I was not one of the lucky ones, my problem ended up being THREE FILES and not just one, so it was a bit frustrating but I did finally isolate the 3 files and disabled them and the problem is GONE!

ShellExView provides lots of information, and you can also scroll to the right and look at the File Extension or File Created Time columns to help narrow down where the problem may reside, or view the properties of an Extension name.Īfter you have found the problem, try uninstalling the program and see if the problem fixes itself. If the problem goes away, enable one at a time (in the group) until you find the offending application. If there are many, disable in groups, 3 or 4 context menu handlers to help isolate the problem faster. If disabling AVG7 Shell Extension Class did not fix the problem, then enable AVG7 Shell Extension Class and disable another non-Microsoft context menu handler and repeat the above steps until the problem is solved. NOTE: If the Scan with AVG option is still present, you will need to reboot for the change to take effect. Now when I right click on a folder or file, the Scan with AVG option will be gone for the context menu and if AVG was the problem, right clicking will be faster. If I suspected AVG Anitivrus was the culprit, just right click on AVG7 Shell Extension Class and select disable or highlight and press F7 and answer Yes to disable. To find the context menu handlers, sort the Type column, so the context menu handlers are displayed together.
