Hangs / crash left mouse - faulty shell extension
Re: TC hangs when right-clicking
Re: TC crash when right mouse click
Post by *sqa_wizard » Wed Nov 10, 2021 23:12
here are a lots of threads blaming TC for failures at right mouse click,
but all of them resulted finally in a faulty shell extension.
Most of them are running fine with Windows Explorer only, but failed with other applications.
Just read the steps at this thread (copied below) and find the culprit yourself !
https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=50218
Do not hesitate to report it to the author of the shell extension.
Post by *ghisler(Author) » Sun Jul 01, 2018 9:03
The problem you have is most probably a faulty shell extension.
Here are the instructions to fix the problem with shell extensions, please try the following:
1. Get the free tool ShellExView: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
2. Start it.
If using Total Commander 32-bit (even on 64-bit Windows!), you need to get the 32-bit version,
otherwise the 64-bit version of ShellExView.
The 32-bit version needs to be called like this: shexview.exe /wow64
3. Sort the shell extensions by type
4. Disable all context menu shell extensions one by one (you can hide/keep those belonging to Windows, they are usually OK).
5. Continue until Total Commander stops hanging/crashing
6. Now you can re-enable the extensions which don't cause any problems
