    Yup - you get some rep for pointing out the difference with AVG installed.

    In retrospect, it should have been obvious - but it was an easy enough mistake to say that it occurred in certain areas or with a certain methodology, whereas it is actually the context menu items themselves causing this.

    EDIT - added the following

    lol - my single instance of rep gave you three boxes - congrats!

    haha thanks, i seem to be on a roll lately since I just got the badge yesterday

    Im wondering what other programs will cause the context menu change, whether it's just AV software or maybe since we're running 64 bit OS, and the programs are actually 32 bit

    From my understanding of it, 32bit shell extensions don't work in 64bit OSs - I had a bit of trouble using more than a couple of them when I was first on Vista x64, then when I started testing Windows 7 64bit. In that time, many have come out with 64bit shell extensions, so I am able to use them - but a few have not, and I am stuck without them.

    Ok its fixed, you were right, it was some application. I removed few of them so I don't know which one exacly was causing it.

    Adobe AIR
    Adobe Media Player
    Notepad++

    Thanks everyone.

    Thanks green98ls,
    Replacing AVG with Avira did the trick for me.

    Why does my right click context menu have two styles? - Neowin Forums

    Another way to get back the modern right-click menu without uninstalling the program is to turn off the shell extension using ShellExView.

    DAP's (Download Accelerator Plus) "Shred File" context menu item also causes the old style menu problem.
