  I'm having a problem with the Windows Explorer does not when I try to access the downloads folder. The problem seems related to a file, a Java .exe file I downloaded. Explorer hangs up as soon as I try to do something with this file, I can't even remove it. I got out the folder other files in desktop and using research and move the file, but when I try to do something with this file, Explorer crashes again.

  No video file in the folder, the file problem seemed to be a Java update file. I managed to remove using an third-party uninstall program, and the problem seems to have disappeared. My best guess is that the update program has been altered during the download.

  I don't know what kind of joke someone plays, but it is not . I have already most likely to get surgery on both of my hands soon for carpal syndrome severe.

I have search and locate and organize and delete and add files of ALL TIME. I'm in the Explorer of ALL TIME. It is deplorable that I had XP Pro because of threats of compliant. XP has at least had an Explorer who worked perfectly. Now of having to learn a new platform (Windows 7) and I am forced to support a program who has a child of 12 years could have better designed! How long still is * going to go? I discovered only recently that Explorer in Windows 7 has a tree that falls to the bottom of the page fricking every time that a file is opened, so I am forced to dive to the bottom of the page to locate the folder. So I started the research on the forums to see if I was losing my mind and just something wrong. I read messages from people complaining about this BS in 2007.

  This is the Bug of scrolling in the left pane.

  See the bottom of this post for help with the left pane scroll bug using Classic shell.

  Say you want Microsoft fixed it by voting on the Microsoft Connect Web site:

  http://connect.Microsoft.com/WindowsServerFeedback/feedback/details/621426/bug-when-expanding-folders-in-Explorer-Server-2008-R2-and-Windows-7

  Look at the left pane scrolling bug:
  Video testimony of the bug of scrolling in the left pane using Windows Explorer in Windows 7
  This illustrates a way to reproduce it, by clicking on the triangle to expand a folder, that you are currently viewing as it reproduces.

  Son of left pane scroll Bug:

  1 bug: Windows Explorer develops bad records, jumping the folder develop you to the bottom of the navigation pane

  2 tree of Windows explore expands downstairs, not upstairs like it used to be

  3. Windows Explorer navigation pane problem

  4. Explorer moves the folder selected to the bottom of the folder list. How can I stop this?

  5. behavior of strange folder in the left pane of Windows Explorer

  FIX THE BUG IN 10 MINUTES:

  The classic interface mainly eliminates the bug in Windows Explorer, but it will still exist in the open/save dialog boxes.

  Pane left scrolling bug (and other corrections):

  Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

  After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page for the classic interface.

  A solution that works for the restoration of some features.

  1) install the free Classic shell.  It's very customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer rather than a full blown replacement. You don't need to install the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
  2) restart the computer.

  
  3) launch Windows Explorer (Start - computer) and turn on "Always show Menus" (organize - Layout - check menu bar). It's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you wish.
  4) right click on the menu bar and turn on the 'Classic Explorer Bar.' This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
  5) go in the configuration and from there, you can change things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even hit back to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders). The Windows Vista folder display style looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but it gets rid of the horrible blow.
  6) adjust other settings you want.

  After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.  Vote for Microsoft to fix this bug.

  Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

• Windows 7 explorer.exe crashes when you go to properties.

  Hello, I have a windows 7 Ultimate x 64. I was working on my PC after using Windows Update, and when I go to check the properties of 'Computer', it crashes. I tried rollbacking that updates, but that has not worked, and the system restore is irrelevant. Also, now I have to pay almost all of the programs to run in "Windows 7", on a Windows 7 compatibility mode! Is it a mistake to register when you enter the properties of the computer? Please help since my error is specific.

  I managed to fix it.

  Those who have the problem, try turning off graphics driver via Device Manager and go to the properties of the computer, if I'm right, it should not give the error explorer.exe. If so, I recommend that you have installed the previous version of the driver for the card.

  And auggy, I erase the DLL, they did not affect the operating system. Thanks for your help.

• Windows Explorer stops working when USB drive is ejected

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with the windows Explorer. When you eject a USB device, windows Explorer stops working and must restart. It also stops working when trying to get the properties of the USB device. I watched "Event Viewer" and there is an error log that says this:

  The failing application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.1.7601.17567, time stamp: 0x4d672ee4
  Name of the failed module: SHLWAPI.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce7c9ab

  Report ID: 0d06c054-0346-11e2-ad84-00248c7a3b78

  Now, I had this problem on my home computer and tried to replace the file SHLWAPI.dll with whom I had the internet, but it bugged my computer and had to re - install windows. Now, this computer works fine. I would get a solution to what keeps all my files and programs since to reinstall all my programs and backup my files on my computer to school will be a big hassle.

• Error "Windows explore has stopped working" when you open the file in my documents

  Original title: opening a file in the folder my documents

  Whenever I try to open a file in my documents folder, specifically a CV that I downloaded on a construction site. I get a message that windows Explorer has stopped working?

  Hi dalintn,

  1. What is the file format of the document?

  2. are you able to open documents from other locations?

  3. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  Check if the similar problem persists when you access the document from any other location on the computer.

  Method 1

  This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that you run a SFC scan, which would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  For more information please visit 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 2

  If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you do clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista 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.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Windows Explorer stops responding in Vista

  When you are working within my documents folders (sometimes, when I am trying to add a subfolder to organize one file, other times, it is when I click on a file to open it), my computer "freezes", screen fades a little, and I see a small note in the left corner of the screen saying that the named file does not.  Subsequently a notification that Windows Explorer does not happen and I gives me the possibility of closing the program, restart or pending.  I used to have this problem only when cut and paste between documents.  Now it happens almost every time I try to do anything in my document files. Any advice on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

  Hello

  See if this helps you:

  Search for malware, if necessary using the safe mode with networking.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#Vista

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

  RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.
