| 829914 | 2009-11-14 00:49:00 | OP: Windows XP SP3 Laptop Issue: Explorer fails if I right click any file, exe program, anything like that Time it Started: Just today when I was moving files across to one of my flashdrvives and then deleting the original. Antivirus: Norton 2010? (You would expect it to happen when your transfering files over to a new computer wouldnt you.) |

| 829915 | 2009-11-14 01:05:00 | What files did you copy then delete? Not windows files I hope, I would get rid of Nortons, its a POC | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 829916 | 2009-11-14 01:07:00 | Try restarting windows. | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 829917 | 2009-11-14 01:39:00 | Bogan: Thats the frst thing I tried :crying I just copied some pictures programs that im sure wouldnt cause any problemsand then deleted the original. Im not sure if I may if deleted anything important though as I was going through deleting unimportant things (I hope) and I got a couple of 'deleting this willmake some programs not work properly'. Could this be the problem? |

| 829918 | 2009-11-14 01:42:00 | Yep, that'll stuff it up. Don't suppose you have system restore enabled? |

| 829919 | 2009-11-14 01:52:00 | I would need a step by step guide of how to :( | Pharaoh (15206) | ||
| 829920 | 2009-11-14 02:00:00 | Start menu Control panel System Then choose the system restore tab. |

| 829921 | 2009-11-14 02:21:00 | Dont copy programs that have already been installed, then delete the original folder. Since whatever is still in the registry and you'll totally screw things up | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 829922 | 2009-11-14 02:39:00 | System restore is on and monitoring, No problems there. I admit this was a stupid thing to do. Going to run file recover to see if that can fix things. |

| 829923 | 2009-11-14 03:28:00 | Use system restore to wind back the computer to a restore point dated before the problems started | gary67 (56) | ||
