  1. How can i get the context menu on a file - right click doesn't work.


    When I right click on a file image, document etc I am immediately returned to the last screen I was looking at and the icons on my task bar temporarily disappear! The right click does bring up a context menu on a folder, but not a file, which means that I can't use the "open with" or other commands. This occurs whether I use the mouse or touchpad. I have tried numerous "fixes" found on Google, including updating the mouse driver, but none have worked. I am using an Asus Zenbook running Windows 10.Help please !!

  2. Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown How can i get the context menu on a file - right click doesn't work. :(

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Right-click context menu "Run as Administrator" not working

    I have the same problem but mine is limited to right clicking the start menu. I can right click everything else and it works correctly, but if I right click the start menu, it doesn't open the context menu and the cursor shifts just a little diagonally to
    the top right. I've tried the suggestions above and the new account works fine and the SFC scan came up with nothing wrong.

    Edit- also Winkey + X doesn't bring open the context menu either
