Scarecrow Man Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 You're right clicking on a start menu item, and it asks you to replace it? I am not quite sure I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Sounds like it could be a shell extension problem. Check out this site...http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htmHope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coreper Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 well, i had a look at that article and tried itit didnt seem to work, though my problem didnt occure [!?]when i used the right-click on an item it worked properlyalso when i select multiple items and press a hotkey from my keyboard, it worked like it should...really weird stuff... [just like my Music folder...] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Good, I'm probably going to try it also as my Open and Explore context commands do nothing in the All Programs menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 wow...i think i know my problemit is the Open or Explore command on a Start Menu item [didnt work last time, because i clicked an shortcut]ill have a look at these to commands and look if theyre corrupt or something [dont really know what to look for...] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 OK. I am still lost.I can right click > explore on my start menu, and an explorer window opens in 'C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu'I can right click > open on my start menu and 'C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu' opens.I can open a sub-menu, and have the same effect. Example: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office opens if I right click the Microsoft Office menu.Perhaps I am just totally missing what you're trying to say?

Why do you right click?I tried a right click on various things on the start menu and got the expected dropdown list every time..........

Coreper Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 how about clicking a start menu folder? [which means: open/explore a folder inside the start menu]btw: when i try that, it first asks me to replace it, then to copy it somewhere else...

cozofdeath Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 So if you click Start, All Programs, then right click on Accessories and choose Open or Explore it opens Windows Explorer? On mine it seems to do nothing but if I recall right it may have worked a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozofdeath Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I just used ShellExView and found out that MagicISO was causing the problem. I don't know how but it was. When ShellExView opened I immediately disabled everything and rechecked the Start menu problem and it worked. Both Explorer and Open. Then I enabled half of the list, then half of that, etc. until I found which one was causing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 what i coincedince: i have MagicISO installed too!so if i disable MagicISO, it should work properly?but wouldnt that disable the MagicISO menu on ISO files? [like: Extract to... and stuff] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Yeah it will disable the MagicISO menu when right clicking on anything. So I have choose to leave it enabled, at least until I find a better fix. Uninstalling then Reinstalling MagicISO could be a fix I just haven't spent the time to try. Here is a pic of the item I disabled in ShellExView...Maybe it will help your situation also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
