questions of Explorer.exe

Hi... after having used my laptop (toshiba satellite L650) for awhile all of a sudden I can't use the desktop icons to open programs. I then try to close the laptop and find that I have to force close as a program is still in use (explorer.exe (used for the output sound)) I then need to hold down the power button to shut down

Hello

1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

2 is the issue limited only when accessing the shortcut icons on the desktop?

3. are you an error message or error code?

This problem occurs because of the corruption of system files or settings.

Try the following and see if it helps.

Method 1:

I suggest you to Run System File Checker (SFC) tool to scan and check.

Steps to perform a scan SFC:

un) Click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow

(b) type the following command and press ENTER:

sfc/scannow

[The command sfc /scannow. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.]

Once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

Method 2:

Note: If the question is limited with little files and applications, see the steps in the following Microsoft article.

Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of data loss from that particular area.

Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  • Several questions after restart explorer.exe

    I have several questions after I ended the process explorer.exe and reopened. "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" only opens the Task Manager (and neither do "Ctrl + Shift + Esc"), the level of the battery is displayed on my taskbar, my wallpaper mysteriously changed, etc.

    What happened in detail was:

    My taskbar was hidden behind a window I had open. For example, if I open the Chrome, Chrome window cover at the bottom of my screen, with the taskbar behind it. The taskbar was NOT to hide and minimize. So, I took the advice to restart my explorer.exe. However this is not going smoothly. I couldn't bring up the task in any Manager. I could not even restart my computer. The only thing I could do was click on the space bar, which makes "click on" my browser Chrome which was open at the time. This allowed me to open a task manager with control of Chrome ONLY. Chrome, I've navigated to C:/.../explorer.exe and double clicked on it. I got my taskbar and the office back, although very distorted. Now, there are still a lot of questions I need to recover from. I think it might be a problem starting some .exe that could somehow have disabled. I would be happy to provide any additional information.

    This is a safe operation restart explorer.exe. Your catalogue of failures suggest that you have some fundamendal problems. I would like to use the system restore to go as far as I could. If that fails to solve the problems, then I'd go for a destructive factory restore.

  • How to fix explorer.exe from constant grave failure?

    AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512 ModName: unknown<><  is="" the="" error="" code="" it="" gives.="" it="" crashes="" when="" usually="" when="" i="" try="" to="" open="" or="" rename="" a="" file="" with="" a="" long="" name,="" or="" there="" are="" files="" with="" long="" names="" in="" the="" folder. ="" running="" xp="" sp3="" on="" a="" dell="" dimension="">

    First, you must run some respectable malware scanners to try to reduce the risk of malware infection.

    Secondly, you should tell us about your system.

    Thirdly, if the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) crashes when you right-click on a file or folder, the problem usually happens as a shell extension for Explorer that you added some third-party programs or an extension of the Explorer shell that could be added without your knowledge.

    Explorer shell extensions make up right click menu when you right-click things (such as open, rename, etc) and there are a lot of extensions to explore afflicted that can cause an accident.  I hope you're able to repeat this crash when you want by doing something that you do.  If you can do explore crash when you want, it is usually easy to understand the problem.

    You don't describe symptoms suggestive of a need to run the System File Checker, but of course, you can if you wish, but note that if you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable with the same Service Pack as your installed Service (most people don't), the System File Checker will complain - much.

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Download, install, update and do a quick scan (not at the same time) with these free malware detection programs:
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Since the implementation of the Microsoft Answers forum does not ask for any kind of information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Now the fun part:

    When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

    Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

    Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song...).

    If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

    First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of installed non-Microsoft extensions you don't know even being given that some installed software installs new without tell you about it.

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the column header for Microsoft sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are on top and easy to see.

    Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.  Suspicious extensions are non-Microsoft extensions.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes and what other people have done about it.

    You can Google something like:

    Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on.)

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

    Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in groups of 3-5 at a time), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish.  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it just disables it.

    The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.

    Test your right-click fault condition.  If the Explorer starts to behave, you will know that an extension of this group of 3-5 is the culprit in order to start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

    If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

    Don't forget - disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled so you can always turn it on again.  In this way, you can switch back and forth, enabled to be sure, you have the right extension under control.

    Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again to make sure the changes 'stick '.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

    You can also just disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the condition.

    If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

    The hope is that you will find an extension that caused the error, and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

    I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

    If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

    Hi Sam,

    Do you remember what makes any agreement, changes this question?

    Method 1: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

    Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    Method 2: If a Protection of resources Windows (WRP) file is missing or is damaged, Windows may not behave as expected. Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

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

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 3:  Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

     

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  • Explorer.exe keeps the name change, deletion etc. of media files.

    I do not know in which category falls THIS problem...
    Feel free to sort where it belongs to.

    The next thing happen very often:

    I can't rename a file or folder. It is not the permissions. It's allways explorer.exe locks the file. Logging and turn it on again solve the problem most of the time, so I can remove/rename the file Explorer. In cases where this does not work I opening of session and closing session again, open a cmd.exe shell and remove the file without problem.

    The types of files are .wma, .wmv, .mp3, .avi .jpg etc. all types of typical media files + a few others.

    If the source of the problem is continuation of behavior:
    Vista explorer.exe opens the file for read the news there, like extif of information in files .jpg, like mp3-ID3-tag, etc etc.
    Can we prevent the explorer.exe to open these files for playback and the verification of the information? Win XP, one way to solve it (partially) which was to unregister the shmedia.dll, in Vista, it seems to be "" wmploc. "." DLL", but I prefer first an email of confirmation.

    It's even worse with .exe files, where allways Vista (and XP) open the file to check for the icon resource, so on slow network, this leads to serious problems.

    Questions are...
    1. How can it be prevented that Vista opens various types of multimedia files to check their content and hang in part to the fact that (rename/delete prevention)?
    2. can it be prevented that Vista opens all .exe files to search for an icon resource, especially on the VPN or ANY network connection? I do almost all my (via VPN) stuff filecopy in a shell because I know that explore crashes after a few seconds due to this behavior.

    KB956592 is already installed, it helps a little, but only a little because it isn't the navigation folder that really does hang, it is the action of file - open (especially with the .exe).

    Before ask you: I have already change one of the biggest disadvantages of vista (this .reg file should explain itself if easy to do in words) so he checks any way content of the media due to the "automatic file type detection", but it always opens these files when they're accidentally hovering over these files and so crashes on certain files or make the undeletable and unrenameable.

    This kind of thing is confirmed by vista resource monitor and pious sysinternals (now wininternals) tools, I see that explorer.exe is the culprit.

    Don't worry, I still prefer Vista on XP :), it's just that he needs (such as XP and ALL other OS, no exception of Linux here!) adjustments for ease of use.

    one) don't you recall making any changes to the computer before this happened?

    (b) what exactly happens when you sign in to your account?  You get a specific error message?

    Step 1: Let us check if the problem persists in safe mode

    Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
