Hello long time lurker first time poster, hope you can help me with this one as its a bit odd. I have recently updated my xp instalation from SP1 to SP2 and found that if i right clicked a file or deleted a file by any other way then exporer locked up and i had to go into the task manager and end task it. I thought this may have been a glitch so did a fresh install of win xp with a slipstreamed sr1 disc then updated to sr2 every thing seemed fine until tonight when it started again. I havnt installed anything withing the last week. has anyone else experienced this problem or is my computer "special" thanks John
