Context menu action crash

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

stop ;)
I was testing (and crushing TC) only using "extract" command from 7zip (from context menu).
As I was said - I've disabled almost all other handles (I had active only 7zip and Microsoft made handles) and it appeared that there was no problem - no crashes occurred.
So I enabled few other handles, tested extract command and I was almost sure that leaving notepad++ and unlocker handles disabled stops crushing TC using extracting by 7zip (or finding subtitles by napiprojekt).
But today I had another crush - so I still dont know whats going on - disabling notepad++ and unlocker handles seems to reduce TC crushes while using 7zip or napiprojekt (from context menu), but there is still something wrong.

Maybe a conflict with a "on access" virus scanner, which failed while scanning the archive or the the newly extracted files?

It could explain crushes during extracting and using napiproject (which downloads 7zip archive, and extracts it), but few crushes occurred during using unlocker (before unlocker launched) - so it's (lets say 99,9% sure) sure that its not conflict with Avira

I've reinstalled TC, disabled all non M$ handlers (Except 7z i napiproject) and I'm trying to make crush - but for now it's stable

Can anyone answer - it there any debugging mode, method of saving stack trace of TC ?

This bug still exist! I've disabled all context menu extensions using shexview and it does not helped at all. After changing from Polish to English problem does not occur. After changing to Polish it's OK until TC restart.
For me problem is with media files (avi, mpg, flv, mpg, jpg, gif, png).
I don't believe it's problem with OS. This is TC "feature" 100%

Are you using 64-bit Windows? If yes, maybe you disabled the 64-bit extensions instead of the 32-bit extensions?

No. It's 32bit XP SP3 Pro.

Then you have a more serious system damage. Have you checked whether the menu works 100% correctly in Explorer?

Now it's working with no problem, and I didn't do a thing. What You say about this?
On previous system (older computer) as far i can remember I've had this problem sometimes. If other people had this problem I don't this it's system problem.

For some users the problem was fixed just by disabling and re-enabling the entries in the registry via ShellExView, which apparently fixed some registry bugs (e.g. missing 0-termination in the names).
