Solution for Right Click Error on Windows Explorer

Hello Dude ,

This time, I wanna share with you regarding the solution of this issue : Error Message appears when we do right click on windows explorer, and also it will be error when we press delete button, CTRL + C button, CTRL + V button on windows explorer.

The appeared error message will be like this (vsprintf.c, debug assertion failed, buffer too small, explorer.exe Application error):

And if we click the Retry button, all of windows explorer process will be shutting down, and we will see this error message :

This is very annoying. Previously, I thought this is caused by virusses, but  I was wrong. This is not caused by virusses,  but it is caused by a bad context menu handler. A context menu handler is a shell extension handler that shortcuts some commands to an existing context menu (Ex: Copy, Paste, Browse with ACDSee, Rename, Send To, Properties, etc in the right click menu). So if there is a short cut command error in the right click menu, it will cause error to Windows Explorer. The result is clear : Windows Explorer will be shutting down.

And now, this issue is not big problem for us. There is a solution for this issue. We can use software ShellExView to solve this problem.  ShellExView is a utility that can displays the details of shell extensions installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable each shell extension. ShellExView can be used for solving context-menu problems in Explorer environment.

Th steps to use this software are :

1. Of course we must download and install this software first. Kindly download it on THIS SITE.
2. Run the shexview.exe, and it will display the details of shell extensions installed on our computer .
3. Find the red highlight shell extension in the shexview list. And Disable all of the red highlight shell extensions.

Tadaaaa….After we disable the red highlight shell extensions list, our windows explorer will be back to normal. Thanx ShellExView.

My Windows Explorer is already back to normal now

Prevent Computer Virus Infection : Disable Autorun / Autoplay in Windows

It is very annoying if the autoplay windows appears and ask us to do something with the drive when we plug an external hard disk, USB flash disk, or CD/DVD to our laptop. Beside that annoying autoplay windows, the autoplay/autorun can also be used as media by some computer viruses to infect our computer.

This is better for us to prevent our computer from the infection of any computer  virusses. One of the way of the virusses in infecting computers is by external hard drive. When the feature autorun/ autoplay is enabled, the computer viruses use this to trigger its autorun.inf file that stored as hidden file in the external hard drive to run the virus file in the hard drive to infect our computer.
