GDI leak in context menu extension
« on: April 06, 2010, 06:22:46 PM »
Not sure if this is even still in active development. Anyhow:

You have a pretty serious bug in the extension handler for the additional context menu entries. When creating GDI object handles they are not freed properly, which will lead to a process making use of the explorer context menu to accumulate more and more of them, reach the system limit and ultimately corrupt the user interface of even unrelated programs.

You can use Technet Process Explorer to monitor GDI usage of programs.

Thank you for your bug report. This problem should be fixed with the next version of the context menu extension. If you would like to try out a beta, please unregister and delete your RightloadContext.dll and replace it with this file: http://rightload.org/files/2.0/RightloadContext32.dll

After you register it again, there should be no more GDI leaks.

I'm sorry for any problems this might have caused!
