Hello Folks,

I am running Windows XP Home with SP2 on a family PC with several users.
I have a problem with Windows Explorer that affects only some users.  If I right-click a file (for example to rename) the explorer window locks.  The only way to close the window after that is from the Task Manager.

If I create a new user from a normal account with administrator privilages.  The problem is evident from the start.  However, if I create a new user from the Admistrator account the problem is not there.

Any ideas?It looks like that the profiles of some of the users have got corrupted.

Try deleting it.
On relogging they will be automatically recreated.Thanks vibhor_agarwalin,

I understand when you say that some of the user profiles may be corrupted, but that doesn't explain why the new user I created from a working account came up with the same problem.

When you say "Try deleteing it", I assume that you mean the user profile and not the whole user account.  I have never deleted a user profile.  Can someone explain how I GO about this.

Thanks.

Just go to "Documents and Settings"

There you will find a folder corresponding to each User.

Regarding your creating of new users, if the profile of hte user from which you are creating new users is corrupted, hten you don't konw what could happen.

I am just guessing here.
Lets SEE what happens. Quote
