| Windows 7: Right click context menu not Aero enabled |

Right click context menu not Aero enabled When I right click on a certain icon (eg Computer, Firefox shortcut...) the menu looks low graph and old style, like on XP e.g. and Aero is enabled. But when I rightclick on my desktop the buttons and the menu seem normal.
Anyway I can fix this?

Hi Munch,
To be honest, I can;t see much difference, maybe a slightly darker font on the First one. Perhaps it's easier to see when your at the desktop.
Here's a few things to check anyway. - Graphics card drivers are up to date from the manufacturers website
- Try a different theme
- Right Click on Computer, select properties, click on advanced system settings, Under performance - click settings, adjust for best appearance

I have tried all the things You said...
its adjusted for best performance, tried a couple of themes, and installed the latest drivers just after installing the system yesterday.
Heres a screen capture of what it looks like and where it appears. Screenr - @mekan_zec: Buggy rightclick menu
I know its not a big deal but its really annoying, surprisingly, and kinda like it when its all perfect xD | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 CPU Intel Core2Quad Q9400 Motherboard Gigabyte P35-DS3 Memory 3GB Kingston DDR2 Graphics Card nVidia GForce 8600GT Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Syncmaster 2243NW Screen Resolution 1680x1050 + 1440x900 Keyboard Razer Tarantula Mouse Razer Lachesis Hard Drives WD 640GB

Hi Munch, Welcome to SF,
I guess its the issue with AVG on your Context Menu.
To Fix the problem Download ShellExView
The rule is to disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers *one-by-one* and verify if the problem is solved. If disabling one does not solve the problem, undo the disabled item and disable the next non-Microsoft handler. Do the same until the problem is solved and finally identify the culprit. Scroll right to see the Company Name column in ShellExView.
Hope this helps

Okay, nevermind, I have disabled the AVG shell extension and now it all works except the context menu of 'Computer' ...but I guess I can live with that

Download ShellExView and open it. Then sort it by Company Name. Then disable all the Non-Microsoft application from that list.
