Problems opening Folders on C:

Problems opening Folders on C:

When I try to open any folder on my C: drive I get the "Click the program you want to use to open Foldername "

My Op system is Winme

what about folders elsewhere? u got other drives?

Open Explorer or My Computer, click tools and 'folder options' ... might be different in ME... but it's around there somewhere... then look for the 'File Types' tab... folders should be near the top - check what it's set to - it should be 'none' i think...

its set to "blank"

i have two hard drives and both say the same em:

get rid of ME its fucking shatpank

While that may be the case it doesn't really solve the current problem

Never seen that before so I have no idea

If you try Start > Run and paste in the file path does it still happen or can you open the folder?

Try going to Start-->Run, type "regedit", navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
and see if there's a key called "DesktopProcess" - if thre is, delete it. Only seen that on old versions of Windows though, unsure about ME, so unsure it will work.

I wonder why he never thought of doing that before asking for help

All> I cannot open ANY folder without the prompt appearing. This includes folders on the desktop and shortcuts to folders on my drives. ........BUT shortcouts to documents and spreadsheets that are stored in these folders open fine?!?!

Did you get into regedit fine and delete that key if it was there?

PHEW! got this sorted. It had happened when I had uninstalled some encyption software, i guess it fucked with something... iv reinstalled and its working now.

dodgy> hadnt tried that yet.

Oh well - good you got it sorted though

ps. i dont agree AT ALL. with views that WinME is rubbish. when its fulled sp'ed up its the most stable OP iv used by far, iv had so few problems with it I am still using it now and dont really want to upgrade...... burt will have to soon I supose

i'm not one to bad mouth stuff - but ME is meant to be shite. just a stop gap hash up between 98/2K/XP... loads of bother with it... but i suppose if you're only using it for browsing your fetish sites and for book keeping 'teknofish independant traders' - it does the job for you
