Windows me help
Hi,
I used Partition magic 8.I combined C:\&D:\. It worked fine except now I click on Start-Programs-accessories-Windows Explorer. Hour glass runs-Then nothing happens. I tried Add&remove windows explorer-then fix. Then went to windows update.Updated everything under critical updates. Still when I click on windows explorer.Nothing happens. I right clicked on windows explorer. Under target=C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /e,C:\ Under Start in=empty. General=short cut. Can you help with this? Thanks in advance. |

The changes you made should not have affected the working of the shortcut.
What happens if instead of using the shortcut to launch Explorer you use the shortcut Windows Key + E, that is depress the Windows Key and whilst depressed click the E? Does the system still hang? Try doing this whilst not connected to the net. It is possible that the problem you are experiencing is the result of your system hosting an unwanted "guest" such as a commercial parasite if not a virus. Have you checked for the presence of such unwelcome visitors? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP wrote: Hi, I used Partition magic 8.I combined C:\&D:\.
