Hi,

whenever i open the folder, it will freezes and the error message is stated
as 'Windows Explorer was encountered a problem and needs to close.'

what exactly is the problem? I had actually installed Ad aware but whenever
i scan and it reaches the temp internet files, the program would hang there

Whenever i try to open the user folders under documents and settings folder,
there would be an error message and it would close. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Try to clean up the Temp first by doing these steps:
1-- Double click My Computer and right click The C:\ Partition and select
Properties from the drop list.
Under General Tab on the C:\ Properties click Disk CleanUp and check all
Check Boxes to clear the Temp History and all the reset.

2- Open the Windows Explorer and locate these paths:
C:\Documents and Settings\Local user\User data = Delete all folders under
this sub-folder, usually will be in Capital letters.

C:\Windows\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\ Content.IE5 = Delete all folders
under this sub-folder.

Run a scan inn safe mode and also download this tool to clean up, please
read the help file first.
http://www.ccleaner.com
Note: your system may be infected and the bad file is located in Temp, so
scan for both Malware and Viruses.
HTH.
