windows explorer multiple windows issue

(1/2) > >>

rovingcowboy:
explorer is not following the option settings or the tweaks for making it open only one window and use it for all folders.

it is opening a new window for each folder and showing the directory tree in an explorer bar on the left in each of them.

if i close the last open folder window  explorer locks the system i have to click alt cont del to use task manager and close explorer to re start it to make it work again.? 

i've made a new profile and did all tweaks in tweaking programs i have and tried tons of repair apps trying to find the reason for this issue and fix it but it still continues after 2 months i've started asking for help in many forums hope somebody can figure this one out.?

Shane:
Some infections do attach themselves to explorer.

Have you ran malwarebytes, tdsskiller and combofix yet?

rovingcowboy:
don't have those programs but i got others i keep in the system and that i ran and run.
avg, superantispyware and ccleaner, spywareblaster, online trendmicro housecall's scan.

avg did find a trojan in the system and cleaned it out but that was only last week it got in.
or last week an update to avg was able to find it.  but it is cleaned out and the issue still shows up.
so i don't think that is the trouble.

Shane:
Go ahead and run those 3 programs as well, they are the 3 I run on customer machines. :cheesy:

Let me know the results :wink:

rovingcowboy:
tdskiller didn't find anything. 

combo fix keeps crashing on my system.

i'm not paying for the other one, i use free ones if i can find them if they work i think about keeping them in. if they don't i remove them.  if they only do a few things which i already have a program that does the same things then i remove the new program.
Unless it has more new fix's then the old one..

but they didn't find anything just like the new 2013 avg didn't find anything again.
