Explorer Malfunction?
This is just odd...
Thursday, October 13, 2011 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Stardock Support General
OK, I know redneck hillbillies are supposed to be backward, but this is too much!
When I right click on anything in explorer, and mouseover any item in the menu that opens a second menu, that second menu should open to the right of the first one, unless to do so would cause it to open off screen, correct?
Well, I just noticed that the opposite is true. It is odd and I have no idea why it happens.
Anyone have an idea?

With my Win7 setup, it appears that opening on the right or left is determined if you are on the left 50% of the screen, or the right 50% of the screen.
If my initial right-click is on the left 50% of the screen, the sub-menu appears on the right. And the reverse applies.

.....because it can.
Is it possible for you to install anymore shit on that machine??
Well, I could try....but I'd like to figure this one out first.

For me, it opens the second menu to the left of the first menu unless I am on the far left of the screen. Always. The only time it opens on the right is if to open on the left would cause it to open off screen.

My next idea involves a shim and some duct tape, and that sounds like it might not be helpful.

Normally, I wouldn't say this because it demeans my public persona. In your case, I'll make an exception......
.......... I have no fuckin' idea.
Hurry!! Someone pin this thread!!! Quickly!!

Jim, the sub-menus can open on either side, because people can right click near the left or right screen edges. I think that unless you're within a critical distance it open ... right or left.
I know why it bothers you... just don't think there's a fix... if it's even a problem.

I have the same problem Jim but it didn't happen until I updated to WB 7.3

It is a problem because it didn't always act this way and it shouldn't.
I can live with it, I just find it odd. It is exactly backwards from what it should be doing.

it is an issue from the windowblind update to 7.3. I did a system restore back to 7.2 and everything is fine

Mine does it too. It doesn't seem like a big deal though. I guess it would depend on how you look at it. If it gets in the way of doing things then yeah go back to an earlier version but me I can live with it.

Did you install from Impulse or from a standalone installer?

I think the Square Dance folder did a DoSaDo and a Promenade around the Desktop... hmmm

If you mean me, Neil, Impulse.

I use Windows 7 and DL from Stardock store, its not the only issue but I'll just wait for next update, thx.

I had the same issue (installed via Impulse); after uninstalling, downloading the larger file from the Stardock store itself and reinstalling, the problem seems to have been resolved. I don't know if you have tried it already, but it's worth a shot.

exactly the same for me on win7 Home 64.
it does not really bother me as I can see all the submenu everywhere.
