Re: Windows Explore stops working if "third party browser extensio

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Ramesh,

Thanks for your input. Explorer.exe will not load. No error messages. It
just does not load. But, I believe that you have properly identified the
issue. dc@xxxxxxxxxx sent me the following:

Anyway, regarding the "third party browser extensions" are known as Browser
Helper Objects (or BHO). IE6 has a nice way to mange them.

1. Select Tools | Internet Options
2. Click the Programs tab
3. Click Manage Add Ons

You can enable/disable each one.

I disabled three of the "suspicious" appearing BHO's and everything appears
to work without a hitch.

Thanks again very much for your reply and assistance.
