Can't use right-click when choosing a file

[Godhead]

My problem is that I can't use right-click on any file ( e.g .txt ). It's just highlights the selected file, but due to this, I can't for instance choose which program to use to open the file with ?

I have used Commander for a long while, and probably I deleted/changed something I shouldn't.

Any advice ?

When I mark a file, then choose "Properties" under the Files tab, I get this exception :

"Access violation at address 018E4D60.Read of address 00000000.
Please report this error to the Author,

Hello, welcome aboard !

- I suppose you have the right-click set for selection?
- You can :
• Either press the button longer (~1 second) to get the local menu,
• Or go to Options >> Operation and choose the left-click to select the files… that I do, and no problem with the RMB then…
- Also, please Read The Famous Manual …and use the Search here

 Kind regards,

This problem is well-known and has been discussed many times here: The problem you have is most probably a faulty shell extension.

To correct it, please try the following:
1. Get the free tool ShellExView:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
2. Disable all context menu shell extensions one by one (you can hide/keep
those belonging to Windows, they are usually OK).
3. Continue until Total Commander stops crashing

Please, edit you messages instead to post again and quote yourself, this should avoid to reply to an incomplete issue in the meantime, and indeed to waste time !
- Just a friendly tip, I don't moderate this forum…

- Anyway, using the left-button to mark¦select files causes less issues generally
- regardless to the Shell defect you have currently-.

Thank you very much both of you. Everything is up and running I still though can't figure out what I have done to get this problem, since I've been using Commander for a long time.

Anyway, thy again !
