whether the problem is there or not.

Well having good amount of space is always advisable but its not that PC won't start if you have less than 2.5GB. I had about 900MB free space when I used to use 320GB HDD and my PC used to boot. :)

i just got a explorer not responding again and the folder contains only 36 files but some has long names as long as 70-80 character.


here is a screenshot

look here i am getting a vertical scroll bar in list view.
there is no entry in window logs and no new process starts at that time.now the same folder will get me a non responsive as long as i shorten the file name or remove that file from that folder.

Please check and install the hotfix if it's not already installed:
Windows Explorer may crash in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Explorer may crash in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

Please run "fltmc" on a command prompt and paste the o/p here
Also please run "handle.exe -a "Folder path"".... and paste the o/p[for this you will need handle.exe which you can download from Handle ]


Also can you create a new folder with long name and see if the issue occurs on that one or not....

Can we disable them for the time being?They are not the default filter drivers that come with windows.For this you need to goto HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\cuman & HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\cmdguard and turn their start value to 4 [take a note of their present start value before you do this] and reboot.

Also did u check for the KB I mentioned above and what is the o/p from handle.exe?
