Possible problem deleting shortcuts in folders

I believe under certain circumstances it is not possible to Right Click and delete shortcuts i.e. {filename.lnk} within folders.

If the link becomes invalid (say you have uninstalled the application) and you then try to RIGHT CLICK | DELETE Windows will not pop up the Right Click context menu but instead show you the

If the shortcut is on the True Launch Bar it then clears the alert and pops up the RC context menu and you can delete *however* if the shortcut is within a folder the Right click context menu is not show and the folder closes leaving the shortcut intact.

Can you post screenshot of context menu? And maybe comment non standard items. I need to know what explorer extension show this message box to reproduce the bug.

As temporary solution you can turn off shell's context menu from general tab.
