    Dose it say *which* file does not have a program associated with it?

    Are you using any sort of macro programs at all? Can you open Explorer windows manually? Is every folder navigable?

    Curious - I just tried it and this is what happens :

    From the Taskbar icon:

    From the .exe:

    From the start orb, it opens to Libraries:

    Hi, no no macros, just an ordinary user....

    hey SIW2 did you get that error too now?

    is it some registry issue?

    Hi Premier,

    It may have been there all along - I don't use it normally.

    I use it daily - and my Win + E shortcut works fine in 7048. Let me fire up VBox and see about it in 7057.

    Oops- epic fail - and I don't have time to see what the matter is.

    Pressing Windows Key + E works fine for me in the 7057 build.
