It sounds exactly like this. I can run files using Start | Run, but I
can't get Explorer to open the folders. The only problem with this
theory, though, is that I checked my group policy, and it is already
set to bypass transverse checking for Administrators and Everyone.
I've also tried creating a new admin user, and logging in as the admin
user in either normal and safe mode. No dice.
I clean my computer regularly, but am trying some of the programs
listed above. I'm not optimistic, as this problem cropped up soon
after I installed my OS, likely before any viruses would have made it
onto my machine.
Sorry for offering money. I'm not inclined to use one of the fee for
service sites, as it's just not worth the trouble to me, and probably
not to the experts on here either. I know Usenet has far better
knowledge than your typical troubleshooting site. If I have offended
with my crass offer, then excuse me.
