I know this is a minor problem, but it really tweaks the hell out of me. For some reason, I can no longer double click on a folder in the start menu, to open it in explorer. Nor can I right click and use open or explorer. Each function does absolutely nothing any more. I've had this before and the only way to fix it was to reinstall. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm removing C:\ again

Best RPG game out there right now?

Umm strange

have you looked in Mouse Properties ect. maybe something has been disabled.

Other than that did it ever work? if so Try a system rollback.

yeah it's XP alright. Yes it did work, then one day BOOM all gone! I've since done a reinstall cause it pi55ed me off that much!! BUT if any knows how to fix this, I'm sure it's going to crop up again.

Well, for those who care, I found the prob. It was WinRar's shell addon. If I install winrar and enable the shell extension from the installer, I have to do a system restore to gain the above functionality back again. So installing without the shell enabled works fine.
