Hi

Please could somebody help me. I once had access to this.
I currently cannot right click on a folder on my desktop or within
mydocuments to gain access to the area within properties that allows me to
change the picture of the folder. I have searched the internet and have tried
many different things in order to restore it.

Could anybody be of assistance or if anybody has had this problem please help.

Have also tried to create a checkpoint within XP but this is not working as
it takes too long to achieve and while I have been waiting it comes back
saying not reponding when I do Crtl ALt Del and look at the task manager.

All ideas welcome for each part.

Nothing happens when you right click?

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled

Hi Wesley

Thanks for the quick reply. Tried both hyperlinks, but for some reason I
cannot acces them as the take forever to load.

Any ideas on this?

Cheers

Chris

Chris,

The links were taking forever to open for me earlier also.

I just tried both links again and they load OK now.

Try again. Who knows why.

Hi Ayush

Yes, I know what the customize tab does, its just that I cannot access any
of these using the right mouse click. I can see properties but after that
nothing happens? (This is when I right click on a folder)

The mouse does work and has be check. I know the problem is software related
but what I haven't a clue.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Chris
