Guest John Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Hi, since a couple of months I am no longer able to edit the properties with the mouse right-click. It happens that the system does not responds, and I have to kill the "explorer.exe" process in order to continue to work, so that W-XP closes all Explorer windows. I don't know if it happens because I installed the "Norton 360" or some other software. Because of that, now it is not possible to set some arguments on shortcuts and this is really something I need often for developing software. Any hint from you? Thank you very much for your anzwerz. John
