I have this strange problem with xp, (running SP2),
If I right click on an item on the start menu (right clicking on my computer is fine) or a desktop icon, explorer freezes. The only way out of this is to ctrl alt del and close the explorer program in task manager and then restart it.

Any ideas of what causes this and how to stop it ??
 
does the same happen when using the right click button on your keybaord ? (if you have one of course !)

Laters, phat, headshape
 
No its just a regular keyboard I got here, running off a lap top (if that makes any diff)

Weird that i can right click system icons but not others!
