Windows Explorer Stops Working When I Right Click Inside Recycle Bin


Recommended Posts

I have Windows 7 Home Premium edition. Whenever I go into the Recycle Bin to permanently delete files, when I right click, it freezes up and gives me the message "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" then it proceeds to "Windows Explorer Is Restarting" Now I can delete files just fine when I'm on the desktop and simply right click, and choose Empty Recycle bin off of the Recycle Bin icon.

I have re-installed Windows, and I still have the problem. Any ideas how to fix it?

Why would you right click in the bin if that is what causes the problem?

If you simply mark to files to desire to delete, and press SHIFT+DELETE. This was youdelete the files, without going to the bin first.

I don't know if that made sense.

Hope this helped you out, please ask me if i wrote something you did not understand

Glad to be at your service
