The problem was first reported in this thread, but it still exists in 2.2.0.17! I hope this bug can be smashed before TLB hits the next final version. Wink

It only seems to happen when the shell contextmenu is in a submenu. There is no problem when TLB has just started, but after several hours, explorer can suddenly crash.

The crash is triggered when right-clicking on a normal shortcut somewhere in TLB (either on the main bar, or in a menu). What happens is that explorer simply vanishes without any error message, and then restarts.

Below is an example of my context menu...
Windows 7, IE 9.0, Shell 6.0.6000.16386, TLB 4.2.3 beta

BTW when explorer crashes? When you right-click the button or when you click any of menu items?

When I right-click on any normal shortcut (.lnk file)... So far it hasn't happened when right-clicking on a plugin, or folder (menu).

Heh, just right-clicked the shortcut to 'openrun.exe', and this time explorer crashed with a default Window XP error message...

I do not know if this is the same problem, but if I right-click on a menu item to look at the properties, I get a locked up system (no video refreshing) and have to reboot. I installed v2.2.0.18 RC3 thinking this may resolve the problem, but it did not. I am using the 2.0 spacer plugin. Any ideas, comments?

Indeed I can confirm that this problem has not been solved in version 2.2.0.18 RC3 Sad

I just right-clicked the shortcuts on TLB, and the first few context-menu's opened fine, but at the 4th click, explorer crashed with a default Windows XP error message...

It seems that the amount of GDI objects keeps increasing after every right-click, maybe related to this problem...

Drac, do you have KB821557 installed? I do. I am probably going to uninstall it. There are several posts about right-click problems with this hotfix.

Tested with two different systems with different WinXP and TLB skin configurations...

It only happens with the shell menu inside a submenu as shown in the image. Verify that before trying to reproduce it.
And it only happens after a certain amount of time...
