    I've tried that but I can't run cmd prompt as an admin and can't change it now since I can't right click it anymore =\
    Don't know if there's another way to bypass it
    As of right now, I'm thinking it's a shell problem and am currently trying to use Shellex to locate it but blehhh.....

    Okay somehow it fixed...no idea how. Was running Shellexview and disabled a chunk of non-microsoft Shells and then re-enabled them one-by-one and couldn't find an error but during that it worked again so somehow it might have solved on its own?

    Oh nope....started acting up again.

    Okay think I might have solved it. I think it was the LavaSoft Shell Ext,that probably should be the fix cause I also had an error earlier about Lavasoft being unable to launch the gui.

    I'm curious. Do you have a battery backup? I like to use shell extensions and even wrote a couple of them myself. Trouble is they can be hard to diagnose then there's a problem. Especially if they only work on one or two file types. If the software gets corrupted, such as a fraction of a second power glitch, it may not show up until you try to use it on that file type. UPS can save a lot of those headaches if you're not running one already.
