"WINDOWS EXPLORER has STOPPED WORKING" error every time I try to open things like 'Control Panel' and any other file of windows.
This happens when I try to open any file from windows Explorer. It began to happen yesterday after my mother has finished using the computer. I think she did something (a click on something online somewhere) and may have introduced a virus into the computer. We have only a very minimal virus protection so I see not what is a great possibility. When I came home there was some files randomly on the desktop and I went to "My computer" right now (with difficulty) and removed all the new things, she got on the computer, that she doesn't want to download (which means they came when she clicks on something somewhere online). I thought I had fixed it but now I can't even open 'my computer' because of this error. Help, please
Loading Windows in Safe Mode and check if the problem is here. You can use the system restore as well. You can also use this program and disable Windows Explorer extensions that were not Microsoft.

Whenever I want to check computer (memory) space available on each drive, click on the 'computer' logo, it does not display the response on the screen. Instead, it displays a screen with a message "Windows Explorer has stopped working" for a few minutes and then returns to the original display. I get the same answer, whenever I click on the "control panel" logo I need advice how to solve this problem. Thank you.

Windows Explorer has stopped working error - I can't right click a folder on the desktop.
This is my brother's computer, and they do not arrive in his account, only mine. I have administrator rights, but it seems not to matter. This problem occurs only occasionally. For example, I can right click on this text, copy it, then paste it. However, if I go to the desktop and try right click on a folder to rename it, I get the error. The error indicates that Windows Explorer has stopped working, when it says that it restarts, then the Office updates really quick. None of what I found in the forums have worked again this is why I started a new thread. I think it might be a problem with the registry, then someone can please help me quickly find a solution?
Note: I can not run as administrator command prompt because I can't right click, so I can't run sfc/scannow.
We are volunteers here for the most part.
It's a shame that we don't know anything about the distressed system but it was MS Answers owners have chosen to implement this community - do not ask basic system information when a new question is asked that make problems a lot time and frustrating.
But now they way they choose to turn things around here.
Maybe this will help you with your system of unspecified of brand and model with the release of unspecified Windows and Service Pack and unspecified install antivirus/antimalware:
When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension. You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention). DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program. Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.
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 extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.
Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.htmlShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.
After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly. 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 up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see. They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:
Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.
If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.
You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.
You can Google something like:
Windows Explorer crash You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds 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 small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary. Test your failure condition (right click). If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can 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.
Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled. You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.
Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure. You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.
You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure 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 extensions that is causing the problem 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!

Windows Explorer has stopped working error
Yesterday, I tried to install a program on my computer that is running windows vista after that the computer has stopped working. It starts go to the home screen and then the screen turns black with a white cursor you can move. I can start the Task Manager and the cmd mode. I can boot into safe mode only until I get the message windows explore 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 tried to boot to the last known good configuration, but that did not work. I think that the program has put the memory on the Board, but I'm still not a person of intermediate knowledge on this topic. We didn't backup our files and of course need them. Thank you
Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

Hello
1 did you changes to the software to the computer before the show?
Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists or not, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check whether the problem is resolved or not.
Was: start the computer in 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.
Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)
B: Perform the clean boot and check if the problem is resolved or not.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: perform step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

Windows Vista black after login screen and Explorer has stopped working error
Hello world
I have a very big problem. Whenever I connect to my computer that is running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition all I get is a black screen and a mouse pointer. I can use Ctrl + Alt + Del or Alt + Ctr + Shift lift the the Task Manager, and from there I can run firefox. Once in Firefox I can use the option open the file to find programs, do a right-click and then run them. But I want my back office. When I try to run Explorer from the Task Manager and then I get an error message saying it stopped and must be closed. I also keep getting an error message for something like 'Windows Search Protocol Host' or somesuch. A large part of time that this will just about a five-minute cycle in a style of window minimized down thing then the error message poopping upwards. I am also quite unable to open Control Panel or MSCONFIG. Whenever I try that they freeze and I get an error message saying that they have a problem and need to close. Also I did not change my software recently. In fact it worked fine yesterday when I was with Photoshop Elements 7.0. Another thing that can help anyone trying to find an answer that is in most of the forums help I saw people talking about going into regedit (something I CAN open it) and put the shell on explorer.exe. Mine is already set to explorer.exe. It is also something else that many videos help and forums have said I should close explorer.exe in Task Manager process tab, then run it again. I don't have an explorer.exe in the processes tab and when I try to run it I just get "WIndows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Please help people, I'm going nuts without a desk job.
PS. I use the computer with the problem to type this.
