I am using XP Home set up for multiple users. I am the only user that
experienced this problem. It also corresponds with an inability for
shortcuts that point to folders to work, which means links to explorer
on the Start menu (My Documents, etc.) will not work. Because the
problem did not exist for other users on the same machine I changed all
of my visual settings to their default settings. Used the Windows XP
theme, returned to default settings for folder views, etc. Both
problems ended.
