This seems like a bug in TLB but obviously I can't be sure. I just want to flag it up and would appreciate knowing if anyone has seen anything similar, or any suggestions for how to pin down what's happening.
Most times when I mouse over the virtual folder 'My Recent Documents' in the TLB Quick Launch Bar it works fine, but occasionally it seems to make Explorer freeze leaving the expanded menu for 'My Recent Docs' open on-screen.
Here's what I know about it:
1. To get things working again I have to kill explorer.exe from Task Manager and restart it.
2. The event leaves no record in Event Vewer.
3. It happens perhaps once a week. (It makes me think twice before checking 'My Recent Documents').
4. I've not seen Explorer freeze on other Quick Launch items - only 'My Recent Documents'.
5. I've waited up to 10 minutes after a freeze but with no sign of self-recovery.
6. I use two screens in extended desktop mode and with Ultramon providing a second taskbar. Applications that are open on screen 2 keep working but when I drag them they leave a trail on the screen.
7. The freeze occurs before I even try to mouse onto anything in the popped-up menu.
TLB is version 4.4 running on fully-patched XP SP3 and I'm not using the Stand-Alone version of TLB.
