I have for some time now had a problem whenever I bring Windows
Explorer up. If I click on it from a shortcut I have on my taskbar it
will come up fine, but after a minute or two then not respond. I then
have to go to the task manager and end the task.

My shortcut has these properties:

Target - C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, C:
Start in - %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

I don't know what else I can provide...if I use other shortcuts that I
have for network folders windows explorer comes up fine and does not
hang up. It just seems to be this shortcut plus possibly if I right
click on the Start menu and select 'explore', I believe that will hang
up as well.

Thanks for any input!

Try this? Target- %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,C:\
Start in - %SystemRoot%

=Try to reverse back to your Old Settings and Reboot your machine.
If it didn't help on Explorer properties while under ShortCut Tan click on
Advanced button, whta check box is ticked there?.
On General Tab when you click on Advanced button does the index Attributes
selected there or not?.

The advanced tab under General has these checked:

'File is ready for archiving'
'For faster searching, allow indexing...'
'compress contents to save disk space'

The advanced tab on the shortcut tab has:

'Run in separate memory space' checked, but grayed out...

I have not re-booted yet.

Thanks

That seems Okay to me, if you revert back to the old Pathname:
Target - C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, C:
Start in - %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
and rebooted then see if that issue will go.

On my Computer I don;t have the Extra commands try it without it and see if
that will help:

Target - %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, C:
Start in - %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

Otherwise, run a check Disk on your Partition (C:\) that may help put things
back to order.

I removed the '/n, /e, /select, C:' parameters from the target and that
seems to have done the trick.

I need to go back and see what those parms were trying to accomplish,
all I know is the last one made it so windows explorer came up with the
C:\ root directory showing, rather than the 'My Documents' folder that
comes up without those parms.

Thanks for your help!
