When using windows explorer I normally use the dual pane view with all folders shown in the left pane and a specific folder is opened in the left pane. While in something like My Documents where there are lots of sub-folders shown in the left pane I have run into a problem that is caused by my careless behavior. When trying to access a folder's property sheet I sometimes right click on the folder in the left pane rather doing the same on the right pane view of the same folder. I have noticed that doing this in Windows 7 I cause an error condition in which Explorer stops functioning and has to be restarted. I don't remember this behavior in any other version of windows so I wonder if it is a bug that has been overlooked by Microsoft or is there a work around to prevent Explorer from shutting down when I right click a folder in the left pane?
