do you have 3rd party software to manage or replace taskbar/start menu?

Not really, only translucenttb, but that also happends when it's compledtely off, and I have explorerpatcher

I've used explorerpatcher before and it doesn't cause a problem. Translucenttb may be the problem and it doesn't have to be active - it may just be that the dll file is being redistributed causing the problem

there is also a way to stop the NS from activating on the taskbar - just need time to check how it was

To prevent Shell from replacing the taskbar menu, open Registry and create a subkey with this path

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nilesoft\Shell\Disable
"Taskbar"=1

Hmm okay I see, yeah I never had problems before, they just appeared.

Compledtely uninstalling translucentTB and rebooting does not solve the issue.

Thanks, this seems to kinda work, however it has like a 3
5second delay and each time explorer freezes for this time.

Is there any real way to fix this?

without knowing what provoked it - there is nothing to be done, when mоуdey comes back he may have a better solution

it is no code error related, but check the shell.log - open in text editor and see if there any errors recorded

Oh that's really sad.

Nope no log entries about that.

If there is anything I can check or report back I'm happy to help :)
