Hello,

Right clicking on a drive in Windows Explorer consistently
causes Windows Explorer to crash...

Thoughts?

The event log for all of these consistent errors
shows "The shell stopped unexpectedly and explorer.exe was
restarted." as an 'Information' event, source
is 'Winlogon', Event ID is 1002

TIA!
Greg...

(please c.c. any information you are good enough to offer
to (e-mail address removed) also - thanks...)

This post is old, but I know there are others out there who might
happen upon it with the same problem. I to recently had this problem,
and found it was caused by a context menu shell extension. The
extension is called CmdLineContextMenu Class, of type "Context Menu"
and the dll is found at C:\WINNT\system32\CmdLineExt03.dll. I
disabled this extension using a program called ShellExView (freeware),
and unregistered the dll with regsvr /u. I then renamed the dll,
keeping it just in case, and it seemed to solve my problem.
 
If you search Google for the file you mentioned then you will find a mixture
of results. Many of them say that that file is spyware, but one said that
he/she got it from a game called Champioship Manager or Diablo 2. Another few
sites say its a copy protection file & a lot of site mention that its
re-created on startup. Below is a link to a script you can run to remove it
if it returns:

I hope this is of some use to you, but it won't be for the original user I
doubt
