re: Explorer freezes at right-clicking files or clicking ''File'' menu item. Sunday, November 18, 2001 at 1:35 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Michelle (417 messages posted) Generally upgrading is never a good idea because of glitches (like yours). Your best bet may be to back up your personal data, format your C:, and do a fresh install of XP instead of an upgrade. Alternately you could try replacing explorer.exe : http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q129/6/05.asp?FR=1&PA=1&SD=Whistler On Sunday, November 18, 2001 at 12:26 pm, Daniele Moratti wrote: >I have just upgrated from Win 2000 pro to Win XP pro. >Everything works fine, except for the fact that Explorer seems to start looping endlessly/freezes >as soon as I right-click on a file/folder or click the"File" menu item in Window >Explorer.
