Solved Windows Explorer Crashes When Accessing 'My Music'

[PrismSpark]

Basically what the title says. I don't know why, but whenever I try to access my "My Music" folder, it crashes right out.
Any subfolders are fine if I plug the directory location into the address bar, but if I ever go into 'My Music', Windows Explorer will crash and restart.

Any ideas?

Any program that adds to explorer context menu (right click menu) that would be interfering with the Music folder/files?

You can also try a clean startup http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ation-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html

Not that I know of....

Ok, try the clean startup please. Link in previous post.

By the way, I noticed you have MBAM listed as AV. It is not enough alone, please consider Microsoft Security Essentials at least. Having both will be much better.

Is there a desktop.ini file in your Music folder. Try deleting it.
Note:
- Access it from a DOS command window to avoid the explorer problem.
- It will be a system/hidden file.
