Startmenu RClick-Explore or double click not working

[SR]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I noticed I can double click the startmenu button or right
click->Explore and it will open explorer, and the same works for the
"Program" menu item, but I if I try to "Explore" from anything inside
"Programs" it doesn't open explorer. It jsut closes the Startmenu and
nothing after that.

It's been like this for a while, but I remeber it working in the past.

Is this a known bug? Is it fixable?

Thanks for any help.

See if this is caused by a shell extension.

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:
