Davidson Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:53:54 +0000 http://www.streetmusician.co.uk/streetmusician3/?p=358#comment-273 Thanks for the fix. My problem turns up most frequently when I am doing what I call "The Lazy Man's DataBase": I create a shortcut to desktop, then open the Folder I want to put them in. Next I Select a shortcut, then Cut. Select the spot in the Folder I want it in, and Paste. I will too often get the "Windows Explorer has stopped..." doing this. I'll make a lot of shortcuts to Desktop when I'm shopping so I can return later when funds permit. I also do it for news, sports websites for frequent use, as well as Retro sites [40s-50s magazine/paperback/movie posters---I can never get enough], classical music, film noir etc. Event Viewer in Microsoft Management Console contains details of crashes and error events---it's a severely underestimated program app, a must for this type of thing because it gets right down deep, showing you where the bodies are buried so to speak, getting granular with code and files. Type "Event Viewer" in StartBar/Search, or enter it in the Search box in Control Panel. It is a must to keep this app open, minimized to the TaskBar. Also Windows Task Manager [Right MouseClick>Task Bar>"Windows Task Manager". Necessary too is a Graphics app for PrintScreens---PAINT, GIMP or PaintShopPro are adequate---minimized to the Task Bar, bottom of Desktop, so it's always open ready for action in case of an "event". I use Google CHROME 4.0.249.89 (38071) on a DELL Inspiron 1545 32-bit, Vista Home Premium. Upgrading in the Spring to a 64-bit, it's time. P.S. Google CHROME has its own Task Manager: Open "Control the current Page" upper right of browser, GoTo "Developer">Select "Task Manager", minimize to Task Bar, where it's ready for consultation. Again, many thanks. Matthew Thanks for the fix.
My problem turns up most frequently when I am doing what I call “The Lazy Man’s DataBase”:
I create a shortcut to desktop, then open the Folder I want to put them in.

I will too often get the “Windows Explorer has stopped…” doing this.

I’ll make a lot of shortcuts to Desktop when I’m shopping so I can return later when funds permit. I also do it for news, sports websites for frequent use, as well as Retro sites [40s-50s magazine/paperback/movie posters---I can never get enough], classical music, film noir etc.

Event Viewer in Microsoft Management Console contains details of crashes and error events—it’s a severely underestimated program app, a must for this type of thing because it gets right down deep, showing you where the bodies are buried so to speak, getting granular with code and files. Type “Event Viewer” in StartBar/Search, or enter it in the Search box in Control Panel.

It is a must to keep this app open, minimized to the TaskBar.

Also Windows Task Manager [Right MouseClick>Task Bar>”Windows Task Manager”.

Necessary too is a Graphics app for PrintScreens—PAINT, GIMP or PaintShopPro are adequate—minimized to the Task Bar, bottom of Desktop, so it’s always open ready for action in case of an “event”.
