Windows 7 Right Click

Hi,
When i hover over a zip file or say a photo etc & right click,i should then be able to move down the options list & then just go across to the right & make the selection.
This is where you see a small mark adveed to click it each time.
Any advice please

Windows 7 32bit

 

Are you asking about administrator rights.

Your post is kinda confusing.What is Adveed???

 

Sorry it should of been advising.
Right click then you see a mark which is a fly out menu to the right,i need to now click this mark for the menu to fly out

 

Ok try this.

So you are talking about the DROP down menu when you right click.Is it not working or is there an issue were it's just not showing when it should.

 

What 'mark' are you talking about?
Post a screenshot.

 

That is what i was trying to figure out.

 

Let me explain.
In the Right click menu, you have a small black mark which tells you that there is a sub menu alongside the text.
Normally this sub menu flies out.
My problem is that I now need to click it as it does not automatically fly out.

Left or right of the sub menu isn’t what I’m talking about.

The sub menu flies out but only if I click where before it would do it automatically

 

It seems like something is corrupted.
Run this utility.

Yes i am,i now need to click it where before i just put the mouse over it for the sub menu to fly out

 

Hi,
I have run the tool as advised.
I havew attached the log file.

 

My best guess is that the MenuShowDelay setting in the registry is set to a very high number.
Extract the registry file from the attached zip archive, double click and allow it to merge with the registry. Log off and back on for the change to take effect.

 

The log shows no errors.

 

Mine is set at 400 and it works perfectly.

 

I have just checked the registry and its at 400 without even running the zip code above

 

Try this...
https://mywindowshub.com/how-to-change-menu-show-delay-time-in-windows-10/

Should work in windows 7.

Try setting the menu delay to 50.

Mine is set to zero.

 

400 delayed timer is wrong.The timer should be 0 for it to auto and no click.

 

400 is the default time and works fine.

 

Mine is adjusted to 0 when i use advance system care.

It might work fine for a short time.But after a while it will become sluggishly slow.

 

Hi,
I changed it to 0 & then it worked perfect.
I then tried it again straight after and now gone back to having to click it even whilst setting it at 0

 

Hmm Have you tried scanning for virus or malware lately.It should not go back like that.

I would run through the malware guide below.And post the logs here --->>https://forums.majorgeeks.com/forums/malware-help-mg-a-specialist-will-reply.35/

Test your PC again once it has rebooted.

 

Hi,
I carried out the advice as in post #23 but still the same.
I think i will just have to put up with it thanks.

 

What do you see under this Registry key?
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

 

You mean in the tree of ContextMenuHandlers ?
Below that folder i see,SkyDriveEx,Gadgets,New,Sharing

Or did i need to click on one of them to see info on the right ??

 

It's possible a context menu entry is causing the problem.
Have a look over here.
https://www.raymond.cc/blog/fix-for-very-slow-or-hang-when-right-click-on-a-file-or-folder/

FYI The SkyDrive name was dropped in February 2014.

 

Thanks

Tomorrow I will try that and see what happens.
Regarding SkyDrive I don’t even know what this is.

 

SkyDrive was renamed OneDrive.

Under the Registry key (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers) I have Gadgets, New & Sharing.
Right-click SkyDriveEx, click Export and name it.
Again right-click SkyDriveEx, click Delete, close Registry Editor and restart.

If it doesn't work then try the link in post #27.

 

Hi,
Post #29 had no affect so i am now to look at post #27

What should i do with the file that i exported to the desk top,just delete it ??

 

Hi,
I have followed the advice as in post #27 but still the same.
I went back to the registry and changed & made sure the value was 0 of which it was.

What i have noticed is that if i left click a file or folder then right click the menu then flies out super fast.
If i just right click the same file or others etc then no menu flies out at all.

So the menu only flies out if i left click then right click.

 

Yes.

 

Show us a screenshot of what you see when running ShellExView as recommended in the link in post #27.

 

Here we go,

I selected say 3 at a time & disabled them.
I then tried my right click menu.
This didnt work so i enabled these 3 & then disabled another 3 & carried on like that.

 

Did you run the virus scans in post 22.

 

No not yet as that will be to long for me at the present time
17 you mean 22 ?

 

Crypt pko is a ransomware you need to do the virus scan

 

I was looking in your picture file.And saw Cryptpko class. I did a search and found it is a ransomware slash Trojan. This could be affecting your system.

 

I am now running it as advised

 

All done and post for this is now here,

Good.
Wait for TimW to give you the all clear before continuing with this thread.

 

I read some of your log's.Did you download any thing lately and try to run it with out scanning it first.Some stuff seems legit but some stuff is packed with malware.

We will go through more cleaning steps after tim gives you the ok clear.

 

Can you advise which ones you are refering to please.

 

on the malware forums.

 

I mean which ones do you see packed with Malware,i can then advise if it was recent or a while ago.
Some get flagged up as malware but i use them all the time but then i dont know which ones you are refering to.

 

Well the Cryptpko class is reported as a trojan as seen in this list https://www.google.com/search?ei=Mr........0....1j2..gws-wiz.......0i71.qp77wgeVbEs

Most of the stuff you scanned is really PUP.Which can just be as bad as a trojan.PUP.Conduit can be considered as malware as well.The reason why it got a hit on scans.I bet a lot of this stuff is hidden or hiding in your %temp% folder and in your %appdata%folder.malware loves to hide in these folders.

 

I am waiting for Tim to give the ok.

 

Hi,
Yes hidden files / folders are done as i see ghost like icons all over the place.

I have also dont the fixme reg advice as told to by Tim.

I have also restarted pc & run HitMan scan again and the items that i was told to joing to registry etc are no longer shown in the HitMan results.

So i assume that i am now back to this post to continue.

Thanks,awaiting what to do next.
