Which user name is having this problem is it paul or nomad2

[baddabing101]

Paul. Nomad2 was an additional user I created to see if the problem still occured (and it did).

OK lets now try a small batch file to delete any desktop.ini files which may be disrupting the link

A new standard desktop.ini will be recreated by windows if needed

Download this batch file to your desktop


Right click the file and select "run as administrator"
Once run there will be a text file at C:\Users\Paul called desktop
Could you post that

[baddabing101]

Hi,

it's a blank text file.

OK that confirms there are no desktop ini's in the folders

Found an MSFixit on my rummaging around that purports to fix a very similar problem to this.. Could you run the MSFixit on this page please http://support.micro...kb;en-us;321186

Ran it, but it hasn't fixed the problem.

[Essexboy]

OK the eternal optimist knows that there is a solution somewhere, just need to find it

[baddabing101]

Yes, I meant to add that you seem to be getting on the right track now. I'll keep looking too.

Hmm still an enigma this one... OK two tasks:

First download this reg file to your desktop
Right click the file and select merge


Now retry, if it fails then right click a subfolder and select open
Does that work OK ?

Hi,

That file just runs once i save it to my browser (firefox). There's no option to save it to the desktop. The right click open/explore on subfolders is still working as before.

[Essexboy]

OK right click the file and select save as or the Firefox equivalent

[baddabing101]

OK right click the file and select save as or the Firefox equivalent

Thanks.

Done that, but no change with the subfolders.

[Essexboy]

Okey dokey back to the drawing board

It is just the subfolder in the user directory that are playing up .. Is that correct
