Spybot problem, maybe?

[CoonLiver]

I am using Spybot S&D. I have it searching for all spyware as well as
usage tracks. This morning I went thru my regular routine, had it fix
all problems and clear all tracks. right after that, I lost right
click functionallity in Windows Explorer, like deleting or moving
files causes the explorer to hang. This was on W2K Pro, but I had the
same problem on XP a few days ago and had to reinstall to get it back.
That was fine on the XP machine which is more for experimenting, but
my W2K will be a major problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what
exactly controls this and how I might restore it.(I don't have the
Spybot restore) The only other thing I did was delete all the files in
local settings\temp just prior to running Spybot. Any help
appreciated. I have done searching on the problem and found one other
reference at windows.net, but no solution.

Glad we could help. :-)
