The most likely cause is a 3rd party explorer extension.<br />
<br />
Without plugging in a USB device, browse to anywhere on the C: drive and<b><u> right </u></b>click any file.<br />
<br />
Look at all the options in the list, are there anything extra menu items that were added? Try uninstalling these 3rd party apps shown one at a time to see if the problem goes away.<br />
<br />
Or<br />
<br />
Download ShellEXView <a href="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html" rel="ugc">http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html</a>, and try disabling every non-microsoft extension all at once, then reboot.<br />
<br />
If the problem goes away, enable the extensions one at a time until the problem comes back. Every time you enable an extention, you will need to kill explorer and reload it or reboot the computer. Once you find the bad extention, leave it disabled or look for an updated software version or patch.<br />

Vista USB Problem

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
