Question

XP Pro  1024mb   Pentium D 2.66ghz  200gb hd     installed hp photosmart printer and this icon appeared on the desktop.   If I right click on it to delete it, I get the hourglass and the system is hung up.  Anyone know how to get rid of this thing?

Hi Beep,

See if these links help.

You may experience problems in Windows Explorer or in the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015:

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:

Thanks, Ramesh.   That was the problem.   I decided to uninstall the photosmart printer to save myself a lot of grief, and everything became stable again.   I will probably get a new model photo printer later.   I really appreciate the help.
