I finally booted into Safe Mode and...

Every time I right-click and copy a link to a video I want that link to be sent to a clipboard. That way I won't have to copy and paste every link I come across. Is there software like that?
This is annoying. I have checked the solutions all over internet but this hang never ends. This happens only when I right-click on a music file or a video file. I have already tried disabling extensions via both shexview and windows Registry Editor. I have also updated the graphics drivers. My...
