    See if the following applies to your situation:




    See if this applies: Most Hotbar users can't right click New/Folder on the
    desktop or Windows Explorer without system freezing and/or crashing.


    If this is the case for you, there are two extensions that have to be
    removed from this hive/key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.


    You will find a .dll and .jpg with an extremely long name. Those two need
    to be removed to regain functionality, even though Hotbar has been removed,
    it leaves these behind.


    Or:


    Hotbar - Windows Explorer/New/Folder Freezes (Line 206)

    If this is not the case try these suggestions:


    Right click a blank area on the Desktop/Properties/Appearance
    /Effects. In the Effects dialog box, click to clear the: "Use the following
    Transition effect for menus and tooltips check box, and ok your way out.
    And/or: Click the folder or file that you want (select it) before you
    right-click it to display the shortcut menu.


    Lastly run the two edits on line 157 from here:
