Stupid Windows...

[Vetrius]

I have a problem that whevener I open the explorer program, with the folders, and i navigate using the folders on the left, explorer closes itself. How could I stop this from happening? Anyone else have this problem?

Is it just random folders, or certain ones that cause the crash? How long has it been happening? Have you updated/installed something that could have caused the problem?

Give us some background on it.

Stupid EXPLORER you mean (but yeah, it is part of windoze!)

I once had something nearly (but not quite) like this... have you got any scripts running that might hook into explorer? You know what I mean I am sure - customizing maybe - that kinda stuff?

He was right - we need more to go on for this one.... 😉

Tell us your set up, operating system, peripherals, service packs, printer, scanner etc....

Then we might know a solution or a pointer to help.

Stupid Explorer...

I don't know if this will help, but if it's just in Explorer, try using explorerXP

http://www.explorerxp.com/

works well for me, tho i'm not having the same probs as you are.
Good Luck.

Maybe some type of Spyware is causing these problems.

k, windows xp pro, sp2 beta, hp deskjet 682c... ummm. dunno what to tell you... i think i might have it figured out... i always install on every computer i own pop-up stopper pro... goes into ie and stops pop-ups... its any folder at all that i click on that crashes/closes it.... i'm gonna try turning ir off tonite when i get home...

Probably something in the service pack thats causing the conflict with pop-up stopper. After all, I doubt pop up stopper was designed to work under sp2!

Turn it off. SP2's version of IE has popup blocking enabled anyway as far as I know.

 

[Vetrius]

I'm gonna try that... It just seems to do that on any computer that I use... and computer I've ever owned has always done that... SP2. 1, or just installed... it works fine for months and then it just stops working... Its annoying and because of it, I've developed this bad habit of running everything through run on the start menu...

Can you post a screenshot with a circle around the suposed "folders on the left." I want to be sure I know what you are speaking of.

Thanks!

Nevermind! Damn, I'm stupid... allright, I know which explorer you are refering too... Off to find a cure!

Sorry man, the only thing I can find on the Folder Bar is actually from MS itself. You can see that they don't have much:
