Can't right click on desktop
I can't right click on either the desktop or within Windows Explorer. Either

the shellexview utility worked for me. I went one by one thru the context menu "type", disabling each until I discovered a Roxio Creator 10 extension that was the problem...years ago Roxio 7 left remnants after an uninstall so they still cause problems...thanks mucho -- ziggyff Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
