Windows Explorer Stops Working
MrGED05:
Thomas: I installed Spybot S&D 2.2 in an attempt to cure the problem. Also this computer runs Vista, to disable Spybot SD, I used Control Panel, Processes, Stop Process. It didn't cure the problem but it was still a helpful hint for which I'm thankful. Maybe I should use Revo Uninstaller Pro to remove Spybot?
Shane: In safe mode, the right click function is fully operational. Hmmmm......
Shane:
It is possible it is norton. It is attached to it and it doesnt run in safe mode.
I am not a fan of norton at all. As a test uninstall norton and reboot and then try it and see if it is any better :wink:

MrGED05 Did you click on "uninstall" in windows explorer integration (32-bit) like in the picture?
Tomas
MrGED05:
Thank you both. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I uninstalled Norton and used the hint to uninstall the portion of Spybot. Once again I can move large numbers of files!
"Boo, hiss" at both programs. We poor users would have no way to know that our "protection" programs can be the cause of operating system problems if not for wonderful experts like you two.
"Hurrah" to Tweaking.com and its forum members. I have dozens and dozens of clients (I'm a registered investment advisor) who sometimes call me with computer problems - they know I've been building my own computers for over 25 years. Many times, I've been able to help them. The next time I'm befuddled, I know where to send them.
You guys are wonderful, helpful and amazing people. To extend this amout of assistance without direct compensation is remarkable. A contribution will be made today! My clients have generally not gone through three divorces, they have more money than I. Their contributions will likely be a bit more generous than mine.
I may be exceeding your tolerance for my questions but, now that Norton is deleted, what program do you like to replace it?

Hey,
