tonyme7. sorta sounds like something has gotten corrupted. Question is: Is it folders themselves (ugh!) or Windows? See if you can read the folders if you get to them using 'My Computer' or 'My Documents'. Maybe you just need to repair Windows. HTH. Ed in Texas.

i was just going to do a sft/scannow since this happened after a windows update. the folders themselves are not corrupt only i get an error when clicking on the folders option in my computer. hopefully doing system file checker will resolve this

tonyme7, pure SWAG. Do you suppose M$, in it's wisdom, changed your 'open using' choice in the update? They do stuff like that now and then. HTH. Ed in Texas.
