This is a very odd issue. Malware scanners report clean
I don't see a real time AntiVirus pgm - did I miss it? Do you have one?
Please download a real-time AV program to protect your system.
Real time protection (use only one)
- avast! be free Antivirus
- AVG | Free
- Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)
When installing be alert to untick all checkboxes that are cross marketing and not part of the application. These are mostly toolbars or the Chrome browser. Read the dialog boxes during and after the install and look for checkboxes - remove the tick from anything that isn't part of the AV application.
Also, do not accept the offer of a free trial, you want to install the FREE version.
==== Installed Programs ======================
.
Do you know what these apps are? No uninstall them.

I would uninstall these one by one to see if one one them is causing the issue
If you have objection to uninstalling any, let me know and I'll do some further reaearch.
If you have a paid version, make sure you have the license key BEFORE uninstalling.
You have a number of media players. VLC should handle almost everything.
You also have a number of codecs - these are known to cause issues (plus VLC has almost every codec already)
Some are just housekeeping and won't have any affect on the issue (i.e.Bonjour, silverlight)
BaiduPlayer1.19.0.78
Bonjour
CopyTrans Suite Remove Only
Driver Booster
Game Assistant
Google Chrome
Google Update Helper
Internet Download Manager
Java 7 Update 45
Java 7 Update 45 (64-bit)
Java Auto Updater
K-Lite Codec Pack 10.4.0 Full
LogMeIn Hamachi
Microsoft Silverlight
Nexon Game Manager
Pando Media Booster
Smart Defrag 3
Surfing Protection
Tencent QQMail Plugin
Xvid Video Codec
These following are suspicious to me (could be my text editor though). If you don't know what they are, uininstall them if . A screen shot of installed pgms. would eliminate it being my text editor

I'd like to see another dds - thanks
Ok, I figured that auioshell was casuing WinExplorer to crash - not sure why, but 3rd party add-ons often cause other issues.
Did you install an AV pgm?
I read my post suggesting uninstlaling programs and it wasn't all that clear.
I was asking if you knew the first and last group of pgms. Your response was that you knew the pgms, that uninstalling Audioshell stopped WinExplorer crashes and that it's all right from here.
If this means that you can edit properties in WinExplorer, great. You can skip the the rest of this post.
I'm guessing that editing mp3 properties in WinExplorer is still an issue - please comfirm.
I should have asked this before.. is this only an issue with audio files? Can you edit properties of other type of files in WinExplorer? Try an image file (jpg, png - date taken, title, etc)
I'm leaning towards resetting mp3 in the registry if it's only mp3 files.
Regarding uninstalling pgms: Could you post a screen shot of Control panel installed programs? All I see when I look at the dds attach file are what I'm guessing are unicode characters that my text editor can't handle.
I suggested uninstalling the middle gorup of 20 pgms unless you really need them. The codec packs are know to cause issues on some machines, different players set parameters that might conflict with WinExplorer, Bonjour, chrome, and Jave have also caused issues on some machines. The rest of the list seem to be unecessary 3rd party apps - any 3rd party app is always suspect (see what audioshell did?)
Please let me know where the issue stands, I don't want to suggest anything else until I know what has already been done or if the issue is already resolved.
Thanks,
Bill

Excellent news, thanks for the feedback.
re: image property editing in WinExplorer.
Date taken is the only field I can edit for PNG, but can edit other fields (ratings, tag, title, etc) for JPG.
Can you edit ANY fields for JPG?
Please run the attached batch file that queries entries in the registry and outputs the results to your downloads folder as FileAsc_JPG.txt
Attach the output file to a post. I might suggest restoring the default values for JPG after seeing the file.
I don't want to do this piecemeal. If restoring JPG resolved the issue for that file type, then you can pick and choose which file types you might need to default as you come across them. There's a tutorial with all file types - but let's start with JPG.
Audioshell must have reset the defaults for mp3, and it stuck even after you uninstalled that app.

Thanks, it looks as though you are missing part of the JPG file association. I'm not certain, but it appears as though 2345 is responsble - at least 2345pic is associated with JPG.
There are reg files in this tutorial that will set file types to default values
Default File Type Associations - Restore
Scroll down to JPG and download just that reg file
Double click the downloaded file to merge it inot your registry (answer yes to any security dialogs)
Then see if you can edit the properties for a JPG file in WinExplorer.
You should be able to edit certain properties for different file types. If you come across any file type that you want to edit in WinExplorer but cannot then pick the appropriate reg file from the tutorial, download, and merge it.
This is all based on if the JPG test worked - if you still can't edit JPG properties in WinExplorer after merging the defualt reg file, then it is something else.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,
Bill
You're welcome- glad we finally nailed it, the issue is resolved, and you have the tools you need to repair any file type.
