It seems like you're encountering an issue with your right-click context menu and desktop icons after using Rapidshare. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this problem without uninstalling Rapidshare: 1. Restart Explorer.exe: - Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. - Locate the "Windows Explorer" process. - Right-click on it and select "Restart." 2. Check for Malware: - Scan your computer for malware using a reputable antivirus program. - Malware infections can sometimes cause issues with system functionality. 3. Disable Context Menu Extensions: - Use a tool like ShellExView to disable third-party context menu extensions that might be causing conflicts with Rapidshare. - You can selectively disable extensions to identify the problematic one. 4. Windows System File Checker (SFC): - Open Command Prompt as an administrator. - Run the command: sfc /scannow. - This will scan and repair any corrupted system files that may be causing the issue. 5. Create a New User Account: - Create a new user account on your computer to see if the issue persists. If it doesn't occur in the new account, then the problem may be related to your user profile. 6. System Restore: - If this issue started recently after using Rapidshare, you can perform a system restore to a point before the problem occurred. 7. Update Drivers: - Ensure your system has the latest drivers installed, especially for your graphics card and chipset. 8. Check for Windows Updates: - Make sure your system is up to date with the latest Windows updates. Try these steps one by one to see if any of them resolve the issue with your right-click context menu and desktop icons.
