SimpleShlExt Class is it causing Right click on desktop windows error/close & DrWatso

Hi - When I right clicked in desktop, or tried to use the File tab in a Windows program received the error message:Windows Explorer encountered a problem..., and the Dr Watson Postmortem Debugger. A friend found the trouble shooting windows page and we downloaded ShelExView and disabled non windows shel extentions then added each back individually back and found " SimpleShlExt Class " is the one causing the problem. The type is Context menu, the description is SimpleExt Module Version 1,0,0,1 Product Name SimpleExt Module Company is blank.
It is currently disabled, We don't know what this is, if it is needed or if I have Malware. Can you advise? I don't want to shut down with it disabled if it is needed.

I searched for SimpleShlExt and I get this
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\clsid\{5E2121EE-0300-11D4-8D3B-444553540000} SimpleShlExt Class
which appears to be drivers for ATI Catalyst

I don't know what to tell you to do. I wouldn't shut it down disabled - you could end up with a black screen.

thanks for your suggestion. I kept at it and realized that the file was part of a free download Media Resizer PRO, so I enabled the extension and then I removed the program. It seems to have fixed the problem.
