Windows is abandoned when I try to delete a document file.

When I try to delete a file from Word document - the cursor hangs and Windows is abandoned.  Same thing when I try to delete a document (or any other file type) of the control panel - My Documents Listing. It's a really primitive systemic capacity - it was another of those wonderful Microsoft "improvements?

Hi Russell,

 
 
1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
2. What is the exact location of the file in the folder you want to delete?
3. What is the exact error you are getting?
 
I suggest you follow the methods and check if it helps.
 
Method 1: Run the fix - it for the link and if it helps.
 
 
 
Method 2:

Run check file system (CFS) analyses and checks to see if it helps.

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

Note: System File Checker gives an administrator the ability to scan the files all protected to check their versions. If the System File Checker detects that a protected file has been replaced, it retrieves the correct version of the file in the folder cache (% Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker verifies and repopulates the cache folder also. You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run the System File Checker. If the cache folder is damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc/scannow, sfc /scanonceor sfc /scanboot orders to repair its contents.

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Method 1 : delete the file in safe mode and check if the problem is solved or not.

    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)

    Method 2 : perform the steps in the article and check if the problem is solved or not.

  • Windows Explorer has stopped working... then restart... only when I try to delete something!

    I'm running Windows Vista Business 2007.  I have not had problems with my computer until my computer has been infected with the Malware last week.  The malware has been removed.  The problem I have is when I try to delete a file, the shortcut on the desktop or do anything, I get a display box that appears and says "Windows Explorer has stopped working... Windows is looking for a solution to a problem." Then another presentation box appears and says "Windows Explorer restarts... "and it restarts.  The file will not be deleted. I tried to delete files in multiple places and using several methods of deletion (button Delete, right click and delete, move, delete, etc.)

    I tried many actions listed on the support forums and nothing has worked yet.  When I first upgraded to windows I had to turn off user account control because it was originally the System unstable and would not allow updates to install. I made on and off again, but it does nothing to help with that.

    ANY INFO on my problem would be greatly appreciated!

    Search for malware that were missed, as suggests.

    Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

    Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

    Another option could be to consider the establishment of 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%\localdumpsdata.  Ensure that the %systemdrive%\localdumps file exists, and then cause the crash to happen.  It must be a dump file in %systemdrive%\localdumps. Download the dump on your SkyDrive file and provide a link.
    (Letter is an environment variable that represents the system drive, usually C:.)
