Question Explorer Shell is Sensitive (Help Please!!)

Hey, I No longer need help on this anymore, I have upgraded my PC from 2000 to XP, even though the XP I'm running on is not geuinine which is preventing me from installing IE 7 and WMP 11 (no biggie to me yet). No problems has occured and I can safely highlight my files in peace. Thanks for helping out though. I appreciated it.

Download a program called ShellExView and find all non-microsoft related shell extensions and disable them. Nvidia ones should be safe also. Does it do it for all file types or just a certain one? I had this happen once with all my mp3 files cuz Acoustica MP3 to Wave converters trial expired and it f'd it all up.

Basically every type of file. doesn't matter if its a media file or a document file or even a system file. I'll try those programs and see if anything has improved.

Question

So, I disable all the Non-Microsoft shell extensions, even though they look important? example: WinZip, WinRAR, PowerISO stuff.

All three of those are programs for uncompressing files. Unless you need to open some zip, rar, iso, tar, etc. files, you can turn them off.

Most programs use a context menu shell extension but some use the old fashioned way. Go to (i think) hkey_classes_root\* and export it (file>export) and paste it here.

It's kind of hard to explain actually. Do you know how to use the windows registry? Actually... Here's a quicker way to get that info:

Start>
Run>
type this, exactly:
regedit /e C:\exportedforstriker.reg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*

Now you will have a file at C:\exportedforstriker.reg

Right click on that.... err.... open it in notepad lol, and paste it here (using the code tags on the forum)
