• Search tool crashes Windows Explorer when I stop the search

  I have this problem on my own XP machines and have seen several times on client computers. I think it's one that Microsoft will have to work, because I can not find a solution.  It seems to be the installation of third party software that does this, because a stock installation of XP with all updates to this day doesn't seem to have this problem.

  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RESTART WINDOWS TO RECOVER FROM THIS.

  If Explorer crashes and your icons and the taskbar disappear, the solution is simply to wait for Explorer itself to begin again, or issue a ctrl-alt-delete, start Task Manager, click on file-> new task (run)-> and then enter "Explorer" (without the quotes) and click 'OK '. The icons and the taskbar will be back and XP will then operate normally.

  If some of the icons in the system tray are missing after Explorer restarts, you can quickly sign out and then sign back in to fix this problem, after you saved all work and close programs. The programs represented by missing icons are, in this case, which is still running, so it's only a cosmetic problem.

  Until Microsoft or someone else found a real solution, you may need to reinstall XP to resolve this problem. Not knowing the real cause, this problem could happen again. Not all facilities have this problem, or is it all the time.

• Creative Desktop Cloud crash Windows Explorer install and crashes

  This all started with my inability to activate Adobe Acrobat on my computer after wiping the hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

  I had no problem initially download or install anything Adobe Creative cloud. I ran several apps and they worked (although mode of trial for one or two days)

  And then the original problem: trying to activate Adobe Acrobat could not get to the login screen.

  It would hang for about 30 minutes, and then return to the error that the computer's clock must be incorrect or an error with the Internet connection. (It is a type error documented on the Adobe site that says you must make sure that your computer can really make each Adobe activation servers/websites/etc. I checked everything in the troubleshooting list to be sure, but found nothing wrong with the computer or the ability to access Adobe sites.

  Exasperated. I went online technical support. It was definitely level 1 support (checking me all the stuff that I had already spent a time check - and had already told him that I tested this).

  In any case, I spent an hour on chat with Adobe Tech Support through the usual stuff.

  He had me check the anti-virus programs, the computer clock, source of Adobe sites (such as license servers). But nothing ever helped or worked. Then he told me to try to go directly to the Adobe Creative Cloud site and try to download and install the desktop creative cloud Manager. I did but it blocks when he launched the Manager on the initial window with a Creative cloud black bar at the top (with the tool drop down menu on the right side) but never loads the rest of the window.

  After an hour of running around in circles, I decided it would be best to try again later with someone in the second level support.

  In the meantime, I uninstalled all Adobe applications. There is no Flash Player, not Acrobat Reader - nothing Adobe in my list of programs.

  I then tried to download and install Adobe Application Manager. It works until the moment where he launches the Creative Cloud Desktop tools and then crashes at the same place.

  There is a window of creative cloud with the normal black bar at the top - but the rest of the window (which would normally see and load apps from) remains empty.

  I rebooted the computer several times to be sure that it is a new start. That did not help at all. Something extra in these multiple attempts, I noticed, is that when the Creative Cloud Desktop Manager gets Installer about 95% of fact, it causes Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer, but Windows Explorer) down. Once Windows Explorer resets, creative cloud continues the installation but then opens the window (above) has nothing other than the black header.

  I fight for what to do next. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Now I'm paying $50 a month for something, I can not install or use.

  For what it's worth, the system is a laptop HP running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64. 8 GB of RAM and a lot of HARD drive space. All the updates of security and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. I doubt that this last line is relevant because I could run it without problem before wiping the hard drive AND it worked without problem - other than Acrobat activating at the beginning of this whole thing.

  I don't think Explorer is crashing, but just restart.  I think it's normal.

  Hi all, this is a crazy...

  I've been using a WD MyBook drive for a year with USB, no problem, except the message of 'the write failure delay' occasional (big problem with WD drives)

  I bought an eSATA cable as the reader has an eSATA back port.
  The first time I used the command via eSATA was pretty sweet. Reading/wirte speeds.
  After 2 days, I noticed the the remaining on (unusual behavior) drive activity light.

  Now, whenever I turn on the drive when its plugged into the port, eSATA, windows Explorer crashes.
  I can make it appear 'task manager' sometimes, but cannot successfully "end task" or close.
  Windows + R will show the Run dialog box, even if I can't restart explore this way.

  Can anyone help? I contacted WD and they said this is the first they have heard of this problem...

  Cheers in advance

  Thank you for this interesting feedback, companion! :)

• Windows mail glich crashes windows Explorer

  My mom has a HP Pavilion dv9000 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with Service Pack 2. She has a problem with the Windows Mail break when she changes the contacts in his address book. Each time she "right click", and at that moment, to edit or delete a contact, Windows Explorer restarts.
  Thank you for your help. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information.

  Consider using the Autoruns or ShellExView to manage Shell Extensions that Explorer is configured to use.  One of them is perhaps responsible.

  You can also try to capture a crash dump of explorer.exe and download it somewhere (for example SkyDrive), it can be downloaded by anyone and analyzed.  To do... Create the hierarchy of the following registry keys in the registry:
  [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe\]
  In the explorer.exe key, create a REG_EXPAND_SZ value named DumpFolder and set the value to %systemdrive%\explorerdumps data.  Ensure that the %systemdrive%\explorerdumps file exists, and then cause the crash to happen.  There should be a dump file in % systemdrive%\explorerdumps.  (Letter is an environment variable which, in most cases, results in "C:".  So check C:\explorerdumps for the dump file, after the crash.)

• Why crash Windows Explorer on right click in the left pane?

  In Windows Explorer, the time that I did a right click on any folder in Windows Explorer hangs: "Windows Explorer has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

  I have run the System File Checker.  Nothing.

  I used MSCONFIG to disable everything except Windows components.  It still occurs.

  Any thoughts?  I work around by using the file menu or work in the right pane, but it's maddening.  Had no such problems with XP.

  Thank you.

  Sorry for taking so long to answer.  It took me a while to be able to clear a day working on this - it took 2 in all.

  In reference to your list included... decipher the CBS proved impossible as my input does not seem to match the referenced site, but it says he's fixing something.

  On the section 2... slow right click article had the same symptoms that I had.

  Article "manage... context menu entries. "gave me an error and would not display.

  ShellExView is wonderful!  I started to disable anything other than Microsoft and it fixed the problem.  Now, I just find that it is the culprit.

  Also downloaded FileMenuTools (http://www.lopesoft.com/en/) and it is ideal to remove the entries (found in your How To edit link...) without digging in the registry.

  I wanted in any case, thanks for the help.  At least, it works again!

• Cannot open the document because the file is locked. Use the 'Properties' command in Windows Explorer to open the file.

  I am a member of the Administrators group on my computer.  I have a folder full of files and other folders that I denied access for administrator users.  Not sure when it appeared that I had gone for the holidays, but now I am unable to open the files located in this folder.  I can delete, move, and rename at will, but can not open.  I tried all the resets of permissions I can think as well as read all knowledge base articles I can find but still not get these files to open.

  I've recently updated MS Security Essentials, do not know if this has a any correlation.

  At one point, I saw the certificate and it ranked as not approved.  How would this change?  Would this impact my ability to open files yet again let me move, delete and rename?  If so, how can I solve?

  I restore to a restore point previous and not yet open - also received an error message telling me MS Security Essentials would not work properly.  So I undid the restore.

  Thank you in advance for any input.  PatrixUSA

  In fact, it starts to make a lot of sense today.  The files that you have problems with have been encrypted with EFS.  EFS is closely related to the NTFS file system.  As long as you move files encrypted in the same Volume, it is not a problem, because a move is an operation of directory and the directories themselves are not encrypted (only the files that are there).  Whenever you move an encrypted volume to another file, the file must be decrypted, transferred to the other volume, then re-encrypted to destination.  Thus, the destination volume must be a NTFS file system to keep encrypted files.  If the destination is not a NTFS volume, then the copy would result in a file that is not encrypted at the destination and you will be prompted as to whether or not to allow the operation.  In all cases, a copy of volume-volume requires decryption of the file and any operation that requires a decryption error of access for you - more your inability to open a file normally indicates that you no longer control the certificate to decrypt the file.

  Backups are another matter.  If you are using Microsoft Backup utility (NTbackup), so he recognizes the encrypted file attribute and it backs up as - is without decoding.  Other 3rd third-party backup programs may not recognize the encrypted files and simply read and write to the backup media.  When this happens, the files are automatically decrypted to read (assuming the user certificates requires archiving) and writings of backup to a file unencrypted.  This would explain why you can retrieve an archive and it is not encrypted.  DVD and optical bands do not use NTFS, so a decryption of the original file is required to save in these environments.

  The private part of your (needed for decryption of files) EFS encryption certificate itself is stored encrypted on your computer.  To decrypt, Windows uses your SecureID, password, and other things of which I'm unaware.  If your password is not reset in the normal way (i.e. by entering your current password and your new password) such as an administrator, then your certificate is not re-encrypted to your new password and your access lose him and with him, access to your EFS files.  Other forms of corruption can cause you to lose your certificate, but it seems that at some point you have lost access to your certificate and therefore cannot access files that have been encrypted under this certificate.

  New files that you write in a directory that has been activated with EFS will notice that you have a valid certificate and then automatically generate a new certificate that will be used to encrypt files from right now.  That's why the new files that you add to this directory appear to work well.  The only real mystery what I can't explain is the reason why a system restore to a time where it wasn't a problem does not allow you to restore access.

  If you want some heavy reading, try this:

  "Encrypting file system in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"
    <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457065.aspx >

  Personally, I'm not fan of the EFS because of problems like this.  I prefer the freewareTruecrypt which is just as safe, but I myself manage keys (in the form of password) instead of Windows.  Also, it hides the names of files and can be used safely on a connection in network and backup from windows volume is encrypted little matter how they are done.  I have not lost all data encrypted in more than a decade.

  Also run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php) to search for malware.

• Windows Explorer APPCRASH error

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium and started having a weird problem a few nights ago that left me speechless.

  All of a sudden last night I got weird Windows unexpectedly message, saying it would disconnect me in less than a minute, which is made, but also to restart my machine.

  When I got back to Windows after reboot I got a different error message (I didn't write it, unfortunately) and then after a minute or two the same message being disconnected, and even once, it restarts my system.

  When he returned to Windows once everything seemed fine, although the sidebar, where you can put widgets never loaded. Yet, I was able to use iTunes, Firefox, etc. As soon as I opened Windows Explorer and tried to navigate to a specific folder on any of my drives (internal as well as external), however, it would crash Windows Explorer and push me to close the program or find an etc online solution. This is what newspaper said when I chose to view the details of the problem:

  My system worked very well and all of a sudden this is happening has begun. I left my PC overnight and just rebooted for the first time, and I'm having the same problem: programs seem to work (I'm writing this in Firefox), but as soon as I want to look at any particular folder on my system, Explorer crashes.

  It's just the same thing when I tried to install a current Windows Update, when I tried to install a registry cleaner, and even when I tried to empty my trash!

  Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

  EDIT: after further analysis that I discovered that Vista logon failure mode seems to get rid of this problem. Is it possible to refine the potential causes of this problem?

  Best,

  Luis

  That the file was present, and that AV scanners 12/42 to the VT file detected file as malicious or suspicious, suggests your system has active malware on this subject.

  The best thing to do is to get rid of the malware first and then go ahead and restore items disabled with Autoruns.  No need to uninstall Nero, and I would hang on to the renamed.drv in a way, since it is the one piece of evidence suggesting malware. Basically, you can leave it as it is, don't forget not that it is there and then go through some hair removal techniques.  The AV software should find the file renamed.drv and delete / quarantine it.

  Give the free version of MBAM a race and see what it captures...  There are a few tips on how to use MBAM in this thread.

• Change Windows Explorer default location

  I have two problems that relate to Windows Explorer: I changed the target in the properties of the Windows Explorer window with the following: C:\Windows\explorer.exe/n, / e, D:\Program files.

  This change has produced two problems:

  1. when I launch Windows Explorer or a shortcut or menu start, Explorer opens in the folder I have in the target, but it triggers user account control and I must react accordingly. Is there a way to disable control user account for this action?

  2. even if I have the target above when I open explore with a right click on the start menu, it opens to the default original target of: % Root%\explorer.exe system, which brings me to the libraries.

  What I am doing wrong? I searched but couldn't find a specific answer to my situation.

  Hello

  I suggest that you want to run system restore to the date it was working fine.

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1: Safe Mode and clean boot

  Check if the problem persists in safe mode. If the problem persists not in safe mode and check if the problem persists in the boot.

  Step 1: Safe Mode

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

  See the following site:

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode.

  Step 2: Clean boot

  When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

  Check out the link:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 of article to reset your computer to normal startup.

  Note: If in case you are connected through a wireless connection and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check see topic wireless are turned on (Enabled).

  Method 2: Perform a virus scan by using the Microsoft Safety Scanner

  Analyze the computer to remove all possible malicious content.

  See the following site:

  Microsoft safety scanner

  http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 3: Auditor of the filesystem (SFC) Scan

  SFC scan will find all missing or incorrect system files and repairs them.

  See the site:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
