What happens when you try to open a folder?

Sorry, and thanks.

When I try to open folders, the mouse get's the hour glass for about 1 second, then nothing.

Start, Run, regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

That forces a reregistration of the associations relevant to Folders.

If you still have issues, (and I suspect you will) you have a virus.
