Dec 28, 2007

They flash onto the screen, but dissappear.I don't know too much.I restored the system to a known good operating point, but that did not help.I've defragmented the hard drive.

This is my first picture is my right-click menu. It is generated transparent and I have to run my cursor over each option manually before it is visable.ttp://idproject.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/glitch2.JPG

Open Dialog Box In Applications / Drop-down Won't Stay Expanded

Jun 4, 2008

I have a fresh install of WinXP Pro, SP3. The dialog box opens up. The drop-down menu for choosing drives expands as expected for about 1 second, then closes back up. This happens no matter what. It just won't stay open/expanded. I must add, that clicking, My Computer, and using THAT drop-down to choose drives works fine. It's only in applications that this happens. I could swear I've seen this behavior before, but I can't place what it is or how to remedy it.

Edit Explorer Context Menus?

Mar 3, 2006

I have a problem with these context menus after some applications, like Winamp, created chaos in the menu for file folder and folder. I cannot double-click on folders anymore because the default task has been changed as well. For some reason I cannot access to edit most entries in the menu. I would like to change the menu default back to double-click and eliminate several items in the menu.

Running Windows Explorer on XP Home Edition. Since a few days ago, whenever I right click on a device, folder, or file, or whenever I click on the File or Edit menu when one of these entities is selected, the computer freezes, and I need to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and close the Explorer in order to continue. This problem does not occur within the open-file or save-file dialog of other applications, or even in Windows Explorer when browsing the "My Documents" section.

Jul 8, 2005

I am trying to find out why menus are not visible. For instance If I open my Start Menu and go to All Programs I can see all of those, but the program submenus are not visible, I see the shadowed outline and that is it. Also happens for the menus off the taskbar. Basically anything that is a submenu is not visible. The entire Start Menu is not visible in the classic view as well.

Remove Items From Right Click Context Menus

Mar 10, 2008

I want to remove about 8 items from the right click context menu either in Explorer or while on the Desktop. I read an article that said all you had to do was edit the Registry by doing a search for ShellNew and remove the entire key if you didn't want any of them. I did this several times and did find all of them at least 5 times. But they are still there.
