I have a strange problem.

If i try to delete any file or folder from my HDD i automatically get message Windows Explorer must close sorry for the incoveniance.

I ran my antivirus (nod32) and scanned whole computer but no viruses were found.

I just don't have any idea what this could be.........

Believe me it's not strange. I had similar problems with Windows Explorer. Your problem probably caused some program you installed. You need to isolate which one. If problem appeared recently try to use system restore. Also, scan for spyware using ad-aware or Spybot and clean your registry and internet junk using ccleaner.

Cheers

It's a bit awkward to diagnose. Use Process Monitor and see what happens the instant the error occurs. And try disabling the resident AV scanning.

I have tried to cleanup with Ccleaner, but no success. About System Restore (don't have it turned on).

I tried with PROCESS MONITOR program but i need help im not familiar with this program and i need some guidance please.

Thanx

Could be a shell extension or BHO:

As for process monitor - you'll need to have it running when you try to delete the folder. Then take a look and see which processes are doing what at the time.

You'll probably see another process accessing the folder you're trying to delete.

Goto Google and type in the word Unlocker, this is a application that was made for deleteting files and folders

that are locked up, by other programs.

I just tried Unlocker 1.8.5 and the thing is that the computer don't even let me press right-mouse or Windows Explorer context menu.....

WTF.....

Please help me !

I don't want to format

from http://www.bartdart.com/

see what you have on your context menus -something in there is causing explorer to crash when hooked

Get ShellExView from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html , then follow this guide:

The shellEx program worked :D

I remember now i uninstalled ALPHAZIP program and it caused problems because it could not be run in context menu.

THNX Adamt if you would live in Slovenia i would buy you cuple of beers.

Thnx again

cheers
