Usually, I can pinpoint the cause of these apparent glitches, but I have no clue what would cause such behavior. Until I learn more (which might be a while since school starts for me tomorrow, and I shouldn't even be awake right now) try opening an elevated command prompt, and typing "SFC /SCANNOW". If a corrupted system file is causing the problem, that should fix it.
I hear you skyblues and I have that exact issue,, really frustrating, gee I miss WinXP explorer!
BTW, mine was a fresh Win7 Pro x64 installation on a brand new i7 computer.
Lots of people including me with fresh installs on both 32bit and 64bit platforms have this problem. This does not occur every time, but only on certain specific situations.
just a quick question for my curiosity.... does Microsoft review these technical forums and make considerations to include these features, enhancements in there next OS version or service packs?
Undesired Windows Explorer behavior
Get Classic Shell!
