I have suddenly run into a problem as of late that is causing me great
concern. If I open any application (I've tried 9 to date and the same thing
happens) and any time I attempt to locate a file through the file browser,
once I get to "My Documents", it just closes the window and shuts down the
application. I've run a full virus scan and nothing was discovered. I've
applied all updated (to the best of my knowledge).

Has anyone come across this problem? If I navigate to My Documents via
Windows Explorer normally, nothing happens, but when I do it through another
application, it crashes everytime.

Please help. I really don't want to have to spend the next week reinstalling
Windows and then reinstalling all my applications and testing my environment
to ensure that its working again.

If no other answers you can reinstall.

or

Download and run Process Monitor
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/processmonitor.mspx
shorter http://tinyurl.com/yg9wqs

Learn how to use this program to tell you what's happening, not sure
of your level of trouble shooting skills but PM will tell you why this
is happening.

Use the filters, in fact the program that causes Explorer to close and
Explorer should be the only ones being monitored (lots less output to
wade thru)
