    Explorer Crashes by File Management


    So recently I've been suffering some Windows Explorer crashes.

    Whenever I cut/copy/paste files into a new folder on the desktop, it crashes, likewise creating a new folder on the desktop. It's been bugging the hell outta me, as I usually create folders on the desktop for temp reasons (happens to be one of them).

    So anyway, thinking I pull out Event Viewer...

    Code:
    Log Name:      Application
    Source:        Application Error
    Date:          09.03.2011 04:54:20
    Event ID:      1000
    Task Category: (100)
    Level:         Error
    Keywords:      Classic
    User:          N/A
    Computer:      DOWNSTAIRS
    Description:
    Faulting application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.1.7601.17567, time stamp: 0x4d6727a7
    Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    Fault offset: 0x0ab6c260
    Faulting process id: 0x78c
    Faulting application start time: 0x01cc6a151def6720
    Faulting application path: C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE
    Faulting module path: unknown
    Report Id: 4f769780-d60a-11e0-a240-0023548b10a3
    So.... I'm getting nowhere with this. It's been happening for some time, however.

    Have you tried running an sfc/scannow command in Command Prompt? If you're not sure how, follow the tutorial below. I can't guarantee it'll work but it definitely worth a shot.
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Did an SFC and I'm getting the error that files couldn't be repaired.

    I'm well aware of what to do from here, but there's one issue: Which Files? I just wouldn't know. Uploaded my CBS log in zip format, because it was 2.5MB. Only entries you should be looking at is the ones from 3 September (today).

    There are quite a few that could not be repaired. Please run sfc /scannow two more times and let us know if after the second time there are still files that could not be repaired.

    Time for a repair install or failing that a clean install.
