Windows Explorer Bug?
954259
i'll take an educated guess at a possible cause of your problem...\n\nif you have the view of your 'my documents' folder set to 'thumbnails' and you've any *.avi video files in your 'my documents' folder then the crashing will probably be caused by a dodgy installation of a codec.\n\nfor example, i had an xvid encoded *.avi file in my 'my documents' folder and if i changed to 'thumbnails' view windows would of course read the file to try and provide a thumbnail from the first frame of the video. but because my xvid installation was broken, when windows tried to read the file windows would crash.\n\nnext time you get the error message before you click 'ok' to close explorer, change the view in windows explorer back to 'details' or whatever. (view > details).\n\nyou will need to uninstall whatever codec is causing the problem and reinstall it to completely fix the problem.\n\nEDIT:\nin most programs 'file' > 'open' window, the view *can* be changed by using the icon towards the top right which looks like a white box with a few different coloured squares in it - it's the equivalent of doing 'view' > 'whatever' in normal explorer windows.\n\nagain, if it says explorer has crashed you should try still to change the view in that windows before clicking 'ok'.\n\nit may also be worth going back into your now fixed 'my documents' folder and using 'tools' > 'folder options' > 'view' tab > 'apply to all folders' to try and set all views to the one which now works - but bear in mind windows is a bit funny and doesn't always do what you tell it so you might still have the odd problem in certain programs.\n\nthe uninstall and reinstall of whatever codec is to blame is a fairly important step, computers go a bit wonky sometimes and a simple reinstall often sets it right.

Is it possible that the folder got moved under another folder.  Go to Windows Explorer and open all folders.\n-MM

Go to add&#92;remove programs and click to uninstall explorer. It should give you the option of repair. Select this.\nIf this doesn't work, format the drive and reinstall your windows.

I haven't had any problems with explorer 7.  How much memory do you have on your computer?  The more you use the slower your computer gets.  You may need to defrag to free up some space or remove unused programs that you have installed.

Internet Explorer remembers what the window looked like when it was closed. This includes being minimised.\n\nremove these registry keys, reboot and all should be fine.\n\nHKCU &#92; Software &#92; Microsoft &#92; Internet Explorer &#92; Main &#92; window_placement\n\nHKCU &#92; Software &#92; Microsoft &#92; Internet Explorer &#92; Desktop &#92; OldWorkAreas &#92; OldWorkAreaRects\n\nRemember that messing with your registry can cause issues and you should always back it up first!\n\nHope this helps!\nSean

WINDOWS Explorer not Internet Explorer.\nOpen "My Computer". If it's not in "view" look in "tools".

Normally on Internet explorer 6 or 7,there is no Windows protection bar.So it could be spyware or adware.Its better for you to run a scan online here.It has a very good scanner and should be able to detect the problem and delete it.\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\nHope this helps.

That's because your Windows Explore is in your start-up group. The easiest way of removing it is to do a search with the words "Start Up". Open the various icons and remove it from the correct "Start Up"

If this issue has been occuring recently, just go to My Computer, select Tools>Folder Options>Select Restore Defaults.  I guess that helps.  If it doesn't, select the General Tab under Folder Options and select the option "Double-click to open an item" and select OK.
