Problem in explorer
R-Clk inside a folder that gives that problem, & turn off Customization.
That may be a cure. Here are two articles dug up by Glee in another thread. Customizing a Folder's Web View: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...asp?frame=true Customizing Folders with Desktop.ini http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ing/custom.asp And here is all I know about it, until I go study those articles myself. Acc. to "Windows 98 Secrets" (Livingston/Straub), p. 172, a Desktop.ini is a system file created when you "View, Customize" a folder, possibly along with a modified copy of folder.htt (HTML template). Click one and it will open in Notepad; they are not all the same inside. Supposedly, the ini & the htt will be deleted when you remove the customization; that doesn't quite appear to be true, but the ini is cleared of most data. I appear to have 23 Desktop.ini's currently, as "Find, F&F, Desktop.ini" shows. As far as the htt, I never did see one inside a folder, using Explorer. I saw 17 of them BOTH before and after removing a customization, however, using "Find, F&F, *.htt". (Update: I see those htt's after setting: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Adv anced ShowSuperHidden 0x00000001 (1) --DWORD: 1.) Acc. to "Windows 98 Secrets" (Livingston/Straub), p. 199, special folders can also contain a Desktop.ini which "may have a reference to a dynamic link library (dll) file that defines a specific set of behaviors for the folder". There are other ways to create them, and they are sometimes involved in copy protection schemes. Also third party programs, such as http://www.pcmag.com/ 's Folders creates or modifies them to store pointers to the folder icons. I have such pointers in some desktop.ini's, although I never did install "Folders". -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Umer Waheed" wrote in message ... | I have a problem eith my explorer when i explor any | folder the file deskop.ini and folder creates problem and | when i delete the files after refreshing the creates | itself i'm very worried that what should i do |
