"my computer" shuts down on a certain folder

[Hans]

Bit odd, but, when I am in "My Computer", and go to a specific folder, after
a second or two, windows explorer gives the send error, don't send error
message. Mostly explorer shuts down, and the task bar resets, but a couple
times, the taskbar freezes, and I cannot acccess task manager, instead I get
"Application failed to initialize...Click OK to terminate the application".
How can I go about solving this? Thanks!

"My Shared Folder". It has a lot of old stuff I need to clean up/delete.

Possibly going into Safe Mode and deleting the items in the folder would
work for you. To get to Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key as the
computer is starting up. Then use your arrow keys to select Safe Mode.
