In a perfect world, users shouldn't have to care about their \Windows\System32 or \Windows\SysWOW64 directories, so a good file manager shouldn't make the mistake of exposing users to information they don't know how to deal with. On the other hand, knowledgeable users will need to have access to system directories in such a way that they don't have to jump through hoops to find them.

Solved Right click causes explorer crash fix

This occurs of Vista, and 7 (7100 atleast) when you install an app, and it installs a context menu shortcut or whatever. The simple way to get rid of the crashing is by going to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ ContextMenuHandlers" in regedit.exe, backing up the whole ConxtentMenuHandlers folder, and then start deleting all of them one by one (you can start with the ones you've been meaning to get rid of anyway ) and continuously testing the right click.

Be careful not to click on an actual folder when opening of explorer after the crash because for me that seemed to solve the problem temporarily. Hopefully this helps someone. i was having this problem when Right-clicking a file on the Desktop and selecting "Scan with Kaspersky" .. my explorer would crash.. long story short.. i deleted everything not needed..

Back Up Linux And Windows Systems With BackupPC. Version 1.0 Author: Falko Timme <ft [at] falkotimme [dot] com> Last edited 01/19/2007 This tutorial shows how you can back up Linux and Windows systems with BackupPC.

Back Up Linux And Windows Systems With BackupPC

BackupPC acts as a server and is installed on a Linux system, and from there it can connect to all Linux and Windows systems in your local network to back them up and restore them without interfering with the user's work on that system. On the clients minimal to no configuration is needed. BackupPC supports full and incremental backups, and it comes with a neat web frontend for the administrator and normal user so that backups and recoveries can be managed through a web browser. It should be noted, however, that BackupPC does file-based backups, not bit-wise backups like Ghost4Linux, for example, so it is not made for disk/partition imaging.

BackupPC comes with a clever pooling scheme that minimizes disk storage and disk I/O. I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system.
