Explorer Toolbar Menu Probelms
Tuesday, October 23, 2007 by psycodrumfreak | Discussion: WindowBlinds
When I open up a
windows explorer window specifically, if i wish to use the file, edit,
view, tools, and help menus (favorites is ok), the window closes and the start menu
refreshes itself. This problem only occurs with explorer and no other
windows. This also only occurs with per-pixel skins. Also with the
per-pixel skins, I use clone monitoring with nVidia, and the glow effect
of any skinned window if it would appear on the other monitor at all,
then centers itself on the main monitor. These problems occured with
the original version of WB and i upgraded to the beta to see if the
problems were fixed.

Thank you that fixed everything. Is there any reason for the explorer crash? It just seems weird that it would happen with WB6 and not the previous versions.
After looking into the nView options, if I enabled windows to span across multiple desktops, then the glow and explorer are fixed. I hope this helps anyone else in the same situation.

Please disable nview.
The glow positioning will be nview thinking the glow is offscreen and helpfully repositioning it and the explorer crash appears to be nview as well.
