Windows Explorer crashing

I have been jousting with this for a while now! 

Explorer crashes if I try to copy a file or folder or right click to view file or folder properties - bugger!

I use WFE a lot to manage media for Facebook and blogging.

Tried all the usual things including running SFC to check for corrupt system files and finally started investigating shell extensions in particular third party shell extensions - Bingo!


Download ShellExView:

Extract and right-click run as administrator.
Extensions that appear in pink have been installed by third party applications.
You need to disable all of them and restart Explorer to check that it's working OK.
Then one-by-one go through enable only one and restart Explorer.
Repeat to find the shell extension that crashes Explorer.
In my case it turned out to be Format Factory, a file conversion programme.

Looks like Rosie is happy with the larger kitty litter tray - yay

Back home after a scan in the carpark at the local GP clinic.

Rosie roost - Version 6.2.1


Found another kitty litter tray the same size as the two below. Rosie decided the other tray was to small - it was. Looks like she's given this one the thumbs up! Also fitted a length of dowel (perch) to the top of the front pine edging.

Bin collection today

Yellow bin is recycle and Green garden & kitchen waste.

This week Yellow is chockers due mainly to the concurrent annual hard waste collection so I've been doing the rounds collecting whatever can go out.

Before the trucks come around council inspectors have been monitoring bin contents to check that residents are following the bin sorting rules - they are watching! Some neighbours have had their bins tagged warning and notifying to follow the rules.









Anyway... went out this morning with another hand full for the Yellow bin a we have - been tagged!

Bailey got overheated

After overheating on my lap with the heated throw rug Bailey moved over to Zia on Pixies bed.

Medion Wireless Rear View Mirror - Revisited

Purchased this from ALDI in August 2015 and earlier this year it stopped working. I have been dealing all year with the left eyeball and poo...
