Favorites Button crashes explorer

[Guest LES7911]

When I add the favorites button to explorer and use it, it causes windows

explorer to crash. The favorirtes links from the pull down menu works fine.

Any idea about what could be wrong?

The explorer I'm refering to is Windows Explorer, Not IE. If it matters

though my IE version is 7.057xxxx.

Nevertheless, Favorites dropdown menu in Windows Explorer invokes Internet

Explorer.

 

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start

IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

 

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

 

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No

add-ons).

2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

 

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6), (b)

all toolbars and © all third-party Windows Themes (including Window

Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist? If it does,

do NOT reinstall IE7.

4. Required reading IMHO before reinstalling IE7:

 

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!

I strongly recommend using

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the

installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

 

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

 

Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after

reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional

Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it

to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
