For a long time my computer didn't have problems either, but I was nice and
doing the left click first. Then I tried to find ways to speed up everything
(talking about getting work done faster), and it seemed like that, skipping
the left click first, caused the problem. Now, if I bring up a clean copy of
explorer, I can replicate this bug in that fresh copy. The thing I don't
understand is why some XP computers DO NOT have a problem with right clicking
and others do.
