Windows Explorer Problems

This has been bugging me for a while. When right clicking a folder in Explorer, it will exit saying Explorer is re-starting, then closes window. A right pain.

could be a dodgy shell extension. this is something added to right click menus by 3rd party software giving you quick access to their commands.

you could try this to disable them one by one to see if it fixes the problem.

Thanks for the response. I have had a look at your suggestion and will trawl thru the list.
(If I'm capable). Not too familiar with shell extensions.
