Smile Solved: Windows explorer hangs on right click and then with process restart works fin
Hi,
I am getting a strange problem in my Windows XP system with SP3 and all latest security updates from Microsoft. On the start up of XP, for the first time on whatever file or folder, I place the mouce and do a right click, explorer process gets hung and I have to do ctrl+Alt+Del and choose process explorer and end process tree. Then I have to do file new task and type explorer and enter. After this step it works fine. But the problem is very annoying because every time the system boots, I have to restart explorer once first. I am wondering if it would be due to any virus, as in that case it would stay for ever, not just till the first restart of explorer process.
Thanks in advance,
-pkd
