Windows Explorer hangs when opening office files
Windows Explorer crashes when opening files on the desktop.
The accident occurred when going back (or hit the back button) when a desktop folder is used.
After a few weeks of frustration, I've isolated a few things that makes it a little easier to deal with, and maybe this will help some members of the community help me pinpoint the problem.
I've exhausted trying to use system restore system backups.
I discovered the stops 'window launch folder in a separate process' the 5-10 sec reload of the Windows desktop.
Open the folder by opening a window of the Explorer than navigating to C; \Users\USER-ME\Desktop does NOT cause the error; just when you open the folder 'from' the office. (which goes against the convenience to keep files open on the desktop at first project)
I suppose that as a last resort, I could start using a location (like C; \MyDesktop) place the files in there, and then create shortcuts to them.
I was about to do an installation of Windows o/s before you find the option 'split the process' & isolate when & how it occurred (as first of all, I thought it was totally random)
The only unusual thing that occurred near the time of the problem was trying to uninstall [Google Drive] that crashed due to a security locking violation. I reinstalled today, uninstalled mode safe, found guilty folder (... AppData \Local\Google\..) used 'Take Ownership' and then finished. But after a registry cleaning & several resets, the problem persists, then maybe it was just a coincidence.
There are a lot of reasons, it may happen, but my guess is a failed shell extension. She's going to Extensions are what adds options to the context menus you see when you right-click on various things. The hull of the Office is different from cases, even if a program (like Google) added an option to the menu in both places, so it is possible for one to have a problem. You might be familiar with the common shell extensions, like "Scan this file with Norton" click on menus and others.
You can use a program like shell ShellExView to disable the extensions one by one to help out. Although my personal dose of this situation is to create a new user account on the computer, then do drag your files into the new account, and delete the one damaged.

Windows Explorer hangs when copying large files on external USB drive
I'm trying to copy files over 1 GB of my pc to a WD MyBook external drive. After about 10% on the progress indicator, Windows Explorer crashes. When I cancel the work, nothing happens until I unplug the USB. Then I have the pc returns to normal.
During my research, I discovered that a lot of people have this problem. I have tried many suggestions, but without result. The last thing I tried was a full format the C: drive with a fresh install of Vista. Copy a large file gave me the message 'Calculating time' infinite. After you have installed SP1 reappeared the problem as explained above.
Some of the things I've tried:
check the external hard drive: no problem found and the problem occurs on all my MesLivres 3
safe mode
Superfetching disabled
update the motherboard biosNow my last request resource helps professionals. If I don't find a solution I'll have to go back to XP, achieve Win7 or one rating for Mac... a lot of things to think about.

You have an idea?
Hi Danupop,
· This only happens with Microsoft Office files and applications?
· Were these files stored on the network earlier and more later copied on this computer?
· Should it behave the same way with files that have been created on the local system?
However, you can try to configure your computer to use offline files.
To configure your computer to use the offline files feature:
a. Click Start and then click my computer.
b. on the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
c. click the offline files tab.
d. Select the enable offline files check box, and then click OK.
Access the link below to find out how to configure your computer to use offline files.

Windows Explorer crashes when delete or rename files

Separated from the:Hi HBrown Gordon,
In order to focus more on your particular situation, I shared your post to a new thread.
Please take a look at the following information through Wunders in a previous post:
The work of Windows Explorer is to consider what is in the disk and its directory and present this information to the user. If the disk or the disk directories are corrupted, it confuses Windows Explorer and can lead to lock. Whenever Windows Explorer crashes, the first step should be to achieve a check disk (chkdsk) with the /f or/r option.
"How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >Check disk can usually take hours depending on the speed and the size of the hard drive. If corruption is present, it may take more time. Plan on execution of the audit during the night or when you won't need your computer for awhile. In addition, if corruption is present, files may be lost. If possible, save what you can before you run the disk check.
Hope that helps!

Windows Explorer hangs in vista
I use windows vista home edition and using widows Explorer to find files, etc, if there is a problem, that is to say wireless hub or permissions, then explore just hangs. Manager tasks cannot stop the Explorer, the only solution seems to be reset. Why I left XP? y at - it update?
Hello Greensleeves2001,
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Forum.
Since Windows Explorer hangs when you perform a search to find files, it is possible that your search index may be corrupted or unusable. So, it is quite easy to rebuild the search index.
Click on the start ORB, in the start search box, type index. Then select the Indexing Options of instant search, which will be at the top of the list.
Click Advanced, and then select Rebuild to rebuild the index from scratch.This will take a while to complete, so don't choose not to do this if you are just finishing a task.
If please reply back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem
Sincerely,

That's happened? When trying to download Windows Explorer, a bunch of my files (including web browsers) has been treated by my Acrobat Reader. No idea how or why this has happened. This has also changed the icon for these files (including browsers). Could not change their return. Tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Reader a few times. With Acrobat Reader installed now I can't open my browsers or other files that has changed. With Acrobat Reader uninstalled icons are appropriate and I can open the browsers, but other files may not always be open. What happened, and what I can do to use Acrobat Reader again and also use my browsers and open the other files?

In any case, this might solve your problem: Application, file icons change in Acrobat/Reader icon

By selecting the MTS files in Windows Explorer hangs 64-bit Windows 7
I have a Canon VIXIA HF100 HD camcorder which produces MTS files on a SD memory card. When I plug the SD card in my PC, I see the files listed in Windows Explorer. When I click on one of the files, my computer freezes. Totally inadmissible, including the mouse. My first thought was a defective material, but I was able to copy the files to another computer and put them on a USB key. When I plug the USB into my computer and try again to select a MTS file, I get blocked again. Then as I tried to turn off the preview feature icon, thinking it was a codec problem, trying to extract the thumbnail view. This did not help. I don't see anything else to do. What happens when I select a file in the Explorer?

Windows Explorer error: no control office
I download and installed a video converter program cnet.download.com so assuming that it did not contain any malware. But when an attempt of conversion one vob to avi file I got this error message: Windows Explorer has stopped working. Error details:
Problem event name: APPCRASHApplication name: Explorer.EXEApplication version: 6.0.6002.18005Application timestamp: 49e01da5Fault Module name: QuickTime.qts_unloadedError Module Version 0.0.0.0Timestamp of Module error: 4ea5d656Exception code: c0000005Exception offset: 69f5aa99The system version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3Locale 1033 IDAdditional information 1: fd00More information 2: ea6f5fe8924aaa756324d57f8783460Additional information 3: fd00Additional information 4: ea6f5fe8924aaa756324d57f8783460This indicates to me that it is a problem with Quicktime. But with the problem without access to office programs and Windows Explorer I can't uninstall it. I can access the control Alt Delete Task Manager and open a number of things with the file as Regedit menu but no third-party program. No way at the moment so I uninstall Quicktime. An another quark which comes from what I saw on the internet that the Appwiz.cpl file is supposed to open programs and features to uninstall, but I don't have that on my computer or on one of two external hard drives that I use for backups. What is the correct file to use? If so, I wonder why it is not in my Windows folder, and why programs and features worked before without this file?Also, I tried 4 different restore points but that did not help either, and repair the boot and repair of windows. And can not access to Cmd.exe.So would be grateful if someone could, initially, index me on the file suitable for we hope to open programs and features. Also maybe the files to open the Start Menu folder and file to open the control panel. And maybe another idea about this problem. I could delete files QuickTime in Regedit?Programs running in the background if they are started by themselves, otherwise I have no control. Can go on the internet with the hyperlink at the bottom of the error message.Thanks for any help.My computer has been started with a full desktop but immediately got the error windows explore hanging everything up. Starts in safe mode with the same results.
Finally solved my problem, however. As mentioned in my original post, I could open through Control Alt Delete Task Manager and using the menu option file could open Regedit. Also, I could open a browser with hyperlink at the bottom of the error message. And perhaps could have downloaded programs to help, except once downloaded, I would have no way to open and run with unavailable office. But in the end, I deleted all entries in Quicktime using the search function. Took about 4 hours. but when I am the way, the way down on the list when I deleted an entry Windows came into Shut Down mode. And, Viola, after reboot everything was normal again based on the last restore point, that I had used.Then, I finished uninstalling Quicktime with Revo Uninstaller.I understand that some people out there are uncomfortable to play with the registry, but I did for many years, since 98, so for me it was no problem, so everyone is very careful and has a good understanding and concept of what they are doing. I think it is the only solution to a problem like this with the exception of reinstaling Windows. For me, it's a far last option. And then if someone mess up the registry, they would have to reinstall anyway.For anyone else read this and maybe one of the technicians can expand on this, you could possibly use a Ubunto Live Linnux DVD to open the user? file to edit the registry in this way, too. Don't know if it works or not. But too bad it does not a type program MS-DOS out there who would do something like this easier. There may be but I don't see one. And as I mentioned in the first post, repair, restoration and other repair startup options did not work. As a suggestion, perhaps a repair feature that can capture error information, analyze the registry and fix it with the minimum participation of the user.I write all this with other users in mind that will go looking for clues and find help very few experts who give you generic, non-specific responses.
