| 284357 | 2004-10-25 02:54:00 | Hello all I have discovered the most annoying problem on earth.... Everytime I click on two Particular folders (containing updates and music) Windows crashes and I am prompted with the "send this to Microsoft" dialouge box. My computer is completely virus free (I purchased Norton AV 2005 as I was certain it was a virus) and I have no Spy-Ware on the computer. I am running Windows Xp Service Pack 2, I have scoured forums, microsoft, and asked around but I still cannot find a solution! |

It does not reboot the system but crashes back to desktop, then has to load all items in taskbar again etc... This cannot be done ifI don't "end task" on the folder which has jsut crashed. Will try the methods as you suggested and see if it helps. Will |

| 284361 | 2004-10-25 06:29:00 | Use the words: opening folder crashes xp to Google. No quotes, just the words as shown. That will give several interesting leads along the lines I suggested, that it could be related to the programs trying to associate themselves to the content files. |
