Just installed windows 7 today everything seems to be going fine apart from a few usb modem driver & blue screen issues from that. I have one other strange problem If I navigate backwards and forwards a few times in control panel windows explorer stops working. That annoying box comes up and tells me it's stopped working just in case I didn't know already?
I'm just still trying to get used to the fact I have no classic view in control panel.
I have a new Toshiba Satellite, 2.3ghz core i5, 6 gigs of ram and a 750gig hd.When i open My Computer, the window freezes up, the green bar keeps scrolling infinately and no icons (like hard drives, disk drives) appear. Same goes for Control Panel.Also, when i close explorer.exe from task manager, i am unable to restart it.
After doing an alleged successful system restore (from restore point 3 days prior) when I try to access the CP or My Computer I get message saying Windows cannot access specified device, path or file, You may not have access permission. (I am the sole user & Administrator)
I have an Acer 5741 running W7, all ok until few days ago.Now disc seems to be always busy doing something, and all actions slower and the busy rotating circle is often displayed.Control Panel opens but most CP links do not now respond eg View devices, uninstall a program.Some applications briefly open (via their desktop shortcut) but then their window auto closes and they disappear, eg Open Office, firefox, IE8, Fastone (with mssg has stopped working), Advanced System Care (ditto), FinePix (ditto). These appns do not appear in Task Manager either. Have tried access via wifi and direct connect but same results and even tried Firefox in Safe mode.Other appns are still however ok eg Adobe, Avast, Task Mgr, Crap Cleaner, Threatfire, Free Commander, Photocopier, Windows Defender.I have rolled back W7 to before when problem started but no improvement.It seems to me that its a W7 problem rather than the appns
I am all of a sudden unable to access explorer or control panel, am getting "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item. My internet connection icon in task bar shows no connections but I am able to access the internet. My Sound icon says the Audio service is not running. Machine will not boot into safe mode, can't access explorer from command line, anti-virus (Panda) will not run, Lavasoft Ad-Aware will not run and have been able run a virus scan from Trend Micro (Housecall) and it found nothing..
When trying to open the Control Panel explorer.exe crashes. In every other situation explorer works normal. Its a dead end cause I cannot remove or add programs from the control panel.I have all latest Windows versions with Windows update and have added XP compatibility mode to Windows 7 (32 bit, pre-installed). SQL Server 2012 is installed including .Net framework - apart from that nothing special. [code]
im connecting my pc with avi to the tv and my screen positioning is not working with my nvidia control panel.. im hooked up in the nvidia geforce 9800.. checked for tv driver updates and graphics card update all good.
Every time I open a program it comes up windows explorer stop working. And how do I make a recovery from my back up files. System restore does not go back as far as three months, why?
I have Windows 7 Home Premium edition. Whenever I go into the Recycle Bin to permanently delete files, when I right click, it freezes up and gives me the message "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" then it proceeds to "Windows Explorer Is Restarting" Now I can delete files just fine when I'm on the desktop and simply right click, and choose Empty Recycle bin off of the Recycle Bin icon.
When I go to Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNotification Area Icons dialog then there are a lot of programs which are already uninstalled.
How can I cleanup/delete all these useless entries? How can I delete ONE single entry manually?
Second question: Assume I want to hide icons and notification for mutiple/all entries (here approx 40 items) in ONE STEP.
Third question: How can I save/backup the current notification settings (for later restore) into a file? Are these notifcation settings stored in a certain branch of the Registry (which exactly) ?

By default, Windows' 7's Control Panel broadly groups its options, tucking the nitty-gritty stuff you might be looking for into very general categories. You can, however, create a shortcut that lists all your Control Panel options in one list.

If I rename audio devices by the method indicated below, will there be any negative repercussions? I would assume that programs don't use those names to identify devices, but I want to double check.
For some extraordinary reason The User Accounts Icon has disappeared from my Control Panel of Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit & therefore cannot access User accounts. I found this out when i could not change the user account picture.
