Solve : Problem with opening a folder? |
|
Answer» I'm really quite perplex by this problem I'm having. I'm having problem opening this folder of mine, but just this one, since every other folders open just fine. Symptoms include freezing of the opened window when I double-click the folder, and then after about 20 seconds or so, it'll go through and open the contents of the folder. I've ALSO tried running various anti-virus programs, but they found nothing. Oh, and if it'll help, my OS is Windows XP Home Edition. Thanks in advance.

What is in the folder? How large in size? Quote I wonder what they were. I've tried AVG, AVAST, and Norton. As for recent programs, I've installed Irfanview (an image viewer) and the latest VERSION of Firefox yesterday. For the contents, the folder itself is basically a dump site for my school work such as essays and the like. The folder shouldn't be more than 5 MB.

Surely not anything at all, and surely not just an antivirus. Of that 5 meg. are these a LOT of small files or a few big ones, pictures that you are trying to get thumbnails of, or what? Quote What are you using now? Surely not anything at all, and surely not just an antivirus. Well I primarily use those three at least once a week. I also use Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy occasionally. As for the file size of the contents, the vast MAJORITY have the file size of around 10 to 20 KB, while a select few have about a hundred KB. Oh, and all of the contents are Word Documents with just text in them, no pictures whatsoever.So you have all 3 running actively at the same time? Quote So you have all 3 running actively at the same time? Ah, I seemed to have misunderstood your previous question. I only have AVG running all the time, the other two are just on standby.Display hidden files and folders, then delete the hidden files such as thumbnails and folder.ini.Great, that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks a ton.No problem. Glad to be of assistance. |
