Vista Odd Folder Crash thing

Travis30384 · 11-29-2007, 04:27 AM

Soon after saving a webpage to a folder on my desktop, it stopped working. Whenever I try to get in the folder, a few seconds after i get in it, it makes windows explorer have to respond. I deleted the web page and it still freezes explorer help me

---edit:

If i go to my computer, I type desktop\(foldername) and I can access the files by typing the exact name. for example, say the folder on the desktop is named myfolder. I can't open the folder itself. I can use "my computer" to. If myfolder has a folder inside it called insidefolder, I can open insidefolder by running "desktop\myfolder\insidefolder". How can I stop it from making windows explorer stop responding?
--2nd edit:

If I run, for example, desktop\myfolder\insidefolder, then go up a level in the thing, I can view the folder. I found out that if i open the folder so it has small icons, and is arranged from top to bottom, it will not freeze explorer. It is really complicated, but i need to make the folder not crash explorer for vista.

okay, I changed the folder to a document folder instead of pics and music in the customization tab. It works now, but why did it do what it did?

it might of been because you had explorer do something when the folder is opened
