Open With Explorer (explorer.exe) problems
Explorer is not on my Open With list. If I left click Start, right click on a program, left click on Propteries, then left click on Find Target, I get an Open With list that includes the name of the program (for example: "File: Zone Alarm") and a list of 21 programs I can use to open the File (starting with Adobe Reader and ending with WinZip). Explorer is not on the list. I can Browse to /WINDOWS/explorer.exe, click Open, and get it on the list and use it to get Properties. However "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is greyed out and I always have to use Browse to get it back on the list each time I get the Open With window and want to use Explorer. The same thing happens when I use search, right click on an item, then left click on "Open Containing Folder." I can always navagate directly to something like, say, explorer.exe, right click it, left click Properties and get the properties. This all started when something bad happened, who knows what. I could connect to the Internet but couldn't use any of my three web browsers, couldn't use any of my three email programs, and found my last bunch of System Restore Points and Image for Windows backups were unusable. |
