This problem requires a registry change to correct. Here are several fixes: Solution #1: * Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). * Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ SystemFileAssociations\ image\ ShellEx\ ContextMenuHandlers. * Delete the ShellImagePreview key. * Close the Registry Editor when you're done; the change will take effect immediately. Solution #2: * Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). * Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ CLSID\ {e84fda7c-1d6a-45f6-b725-cb260c236066}\ shellex. * Delete the MayChangeDefaultMenu key. * Close the Registry Editor when you're done; the change will take effect immediately.
