Got a problem that I've been researching today. I've discovered that when right-clicking on a drive icon in My Computer (or looking for "Properties" of a drive in Disk Management in "Computer Management"), the activity hangs, and I have to use the Task Manager to stop My Computer, with the ultimate effect of having to reboot.
One set of advice I got from googling indicated that some of the additional right-click context menu items may be screwing this up, so I removed them all with a tool whose name I forget, rebooted, and of course that didn't fix the problem.
I'm running XP SP2 with 3GB RAM and all the latest updates. I've got a sh*tload of external drives, all of which show up in My Computer. This started a couple of months ago but I haven't been able to pin down exactly when, or what I added that might have screwed things up.
So, if anyone's got bright ideas about this, or could point me to someplace where I could get some further assistance, I'd be most grateful.
