Windows issue

Post by nony »

hi!
i recently came into a problem at my parents computer and i have no idea how to solve it. i don't even know where to start from.
every file (be it mp3, avi, jpeg etc.) sort of duplicates itself into another folder-looking icon of 45kb. for example DSC00234.jpeg has next to it a DSC00234 folder, with nothing in it of course. i keep deleting them but they keep reappearing almost immediately. some, very few, i can't even delete anymore but i don't care about that, i just want to keep them away.
any helpful ideas, pls?

Taskbar is mongoing. I mean the context menu. I can always show it (with right-click), but sometimes I can't click its items. Also the appearance of the context menu changes randomly. For example sometimes different item is written in bold, and sometimes "Maximize" is missing the 'e'. Here's some pics:

Joining the pointless discussion :D

Mongo context menu s: Looks like you are using different theme in these pics. But the "Maximiz" is weird xD

Win7 + Opera is the ultimate solution.

You can do this 10 times in a row and it will some times display different options for you?

I don't understand -> who cares -> hey, where's my beer?
<Pawq> at a gym you have only 3 options: 1. have your eyes closed, 2. stare at yourself, 3. stare at others, all of which are either super boring or disgusting
