Re: User Account crashing Explorer?

- Delete the user Profile (Backup it first), then try to do the same thing
with a new clean one (If it's roaming rename the roaming profile).
- Check for Antivirus Def.
- Does the problem appens in every network machine or only in one?

A client of mine is experiencing a problem that is quite maddening and your
help would be most appreciated.

Platform: Windows Small Business Server 2003 (Premium Edition), Service
Pack 1

My client has an Administrator account (member of Admins, Domain Admins).
When he navigates in Windows Explorer to a particular directory (d:\My
Documents) it crashes his explorer... it does not matter if he does it on
the
server or on his workstation. If he clicks from D:\ into D:\My Documents
it
crashes. However if he types into the Explorer address bar D:\My
Documents
it works and he can continue normally.

I have verified NTFS Rights and Share Permissions (I know Share has
nothing
to do with it) and everything is right... no DENY, and he has Full Access
both as Admin and as an individual user (just to try).

Now here is the fun part: I renamed the directory and recreated the
directory and the share, and restored the data to it. He can click to the
old renamed directory, but not to the newly created one!

Any ideas? This is driving me nuts! :)

Thanks in advance!

M
