RemoteApp Windows Explorer Issue on Recent folders

Hi,
I have a issue with explorer application on remoteapp / Citrix session, the issue is Windows explorer recent folder not getting updated. On regular RDP sessions to the same server has no issues. All the Recent places getting updated.
I have tried steps on below KB article but no luck
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951048
Thanks,
Lakmal

Hi Dharmesh,
Thanks for the reply, I'm trying to run remote app from different server to the remote app server. I have tried the same with MS word, still the
recent app folders not getting updated even though MS Word correctly shows the recent files on open tab.
I have checked this issue with Citrix, they said this can be an issue related to full desktop , as remote app is not loading the full desktop while
running the app. They said recent places function might only worked under full desktop.
Thanks

Windows Explorer Refuses to Open Folders In Same Window

I have Windows Vista Ultimate SP1. Under Organize->Folder and Search Options->Browse folders I have the radio button, "Open each folder in the same window" checked. However, Vista refuses to do so and opens each folder in its own window. This does not work well for me because I end up with tons of open windows and its a pain to close them. This behaviour just started. Yesterday it did not do this. This is a fresh install with only Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2005, Expression Studio 2, Adobe CS3 and InstallAware installed.
Also worth noting is that if I right click on a folder, the default action of Open is in bold. If I click it then it will open the folder in the same window. However, every time I double click it opens a new window.
Please help as I really don't want to have to switch to a third party file management tool over this.
Thanks!

Guys,
This problem has been driving me nuts for weeks now. I've cruised this and several other forums, and tried every damn "fix" out there.
WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM (All updates applied)
I've done registry edits, registered .dll files, changed folder option settings back and forth, uninstalled software, re-installed software, etc, etc.. Ad nauseam. (I
don't have IE8 or Source Gear Vault) Although both of these seem to come up often in these discussions.
I bumbled into something on one these forums, and ** I FOUND THE SOLUTION!**
It is very easy to do
Presumably SAFE (It comes from Microsoft)
I suggest you bookmark this site for future use. (I did, and plan on using it for some of my clients computers
when having weird problems)
Go to this web site: http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/
Then, in section 2 click on "Use desktop features, or open programs and files"
In the window below will be a list of solutions. Simply "Run Now" the one called : Diagnose and repair Windows File and Folder Problems automatically
After running the "fixit" my problem of a new window opening all the time in Windows Explorer went away! Worked perfect!
Ps. In my Browser rather than running when I clicked "Run", it downloaded the file. So I ran it locally. No big deal, they suggest doing that anyway if you need the file to run on a computer that is not online. When I ran the program I chose
the second option, which is to NOT fix the problem automatically, but to see a list of repair options first. (rather than choosing to repair automatically)
My results were two things:
Rebuild my icon cache (didn't really have troubles with that anyway)
Repair folder options
I decided to let it "fix" both problems, even though I haven't had any problems with icons. After the program finished (about 20 sec) I checked and no longer had the problem of a new window opening in explorer, however the acid test was going to be will
it continue to work properly after I re-boot. Guess what? PROBLEM WAS FINALLY SOLVED!
Anyway, I hope this works for any of you guys too. I see that "some" of these other solutions worked for some of you, but none of them worked for me until I ran the "FIXIT" program from Microsoft. There is also a
ton of other AUTOMATIC FIXIT's on the site for various other computer problems. I hope they all work as well as this one did! (I'll try to post this in some of the other forums, but feel free to do so yourself)
Good luck everyone.....

Windows Explorer not showing all folders in mapped dfs drive

I have a strange problem, a users does not see all of the folders in a mapped dfs drive. The drive has over 2000 folders but in explorer it only shows 400. If I open a command prompt I can cd to the drive and dir lists all folders. the explorer behavior
is also the same if I browse to the folder via UNC path.
Thanks

Hi jerry.v,
What is your current situation?
When the client connects to DFS share and Access-Based Enumeration is enabled on these share folders at the same time, then Windows Explorer will not display files or
folders that a user does not have right to access.
The other concern is is the permission settings and the Hidden files and folder.
More information, please check the blog shared by Jay.ke:
Why can’t I see all files in a Shared folder?

IPhone shows up in iTunes but not Windows Explorer (after most recent iPhone update)

The phone shows up as a device in Devices and Printers, but not in the Device Manager...
Tried other suggestions, iPhone was unlocked when plugged in, restarted phone, uninstalled driver, restarted phone, etc. Running Windows 7, but same issue on other versions as well, all since last iPhone update. I did not have any prior issues with getting to my photos in Explorer!!!!!

Thanks.
That's wonderful, so now we are forced to use iTunes (the most unintuitive piece of crap program ever), or use a Mac and Image Capture??
or put them into the Cloud for everyone to see?

PS crashes in Windows 7. Possible windows explorer issue?

Hi,
I have an intermittent but annoying problem. Basically, when I use the "Open" dialogue box to access a new file CS4 will hang, shutting down completely. The same issue has occured when using the "Place" command. It doesnt seem to happen when using Bridge to open files. A possibly related issue is that although this does not happen every time it does seem to come in spates and when it does CS4 automatically shuts down the automatic advanced openGL functions (i.e. no revolving my screen dynamically while drawing which realy IS a pain as I am an illustrator and this function was a major draw to upgrading to CS4...)
Does anyone have any advice on how I might resolve this?
Thanks in advance!

Resetting your preferences is described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.   A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Major Issue - Main Interface (Desktop, Windows Explorer, etc)

Seems that my desktop or windows explorer is malfunctioning. Whenever I log on, my desktop is shown, then it proceeds to flash to a colored screen (the theme color), then back to my desktop and so on. It may be that windows is having issues attempting
to identify which screen is on top, but it essentially goes haywire and the only way I can do anything is going into task manager and launching things from there. (Taskbar and other applications/shortcuts don't show up) I should also note that it does stop
flashing back and forth after a while, but I am still unable to do any task, such as toggle the start menu. This is the third time that I have had windows 10 on my pc, the first two times ended in this same problem although I was just too lazy to contact the
forums and just re installed windows 10 (windows 10 seems to work fine for the first little while - 15ish launches) If you are able to help in anyway let me know, if you need any information to do so let me know.

Windows Update KB3020114 is supposed to fix windows explorer issue.
Suggest that you go to Windows Updates > click Check for updates > see if KB3020114 is available to be installed.

DX4000 Search in Windows Explorer not working

I'm the administrator of a 6TB DX4000 which is the NAS at our office of 4 PCs. The Sentinel holds about 25GB of our working data (word, excel, pdf, and other files), which I back-up every 2 days onto a WD My Passport Ultra UDB drive. I can do this using Copy/Paste functions in Windows Explorer. The USB drive can be connected via my PC or, for faster back-ups, via one of the USB ports at the back of the Sentinel (I have configured the USB drive as a shared folder). During and after the backups, everything works well (all of us at the office can save, modify, and create new folders and files). The only problem is that Windows Explorer stops displaying files/folders, also the WE search function stops working for a few hours in all PCs. Thus, we cannot locate files when the search function is not working, which is a big problem for us. This happens irregularly (sometimes after each backup and at times every couple of weeks). I’m quite certain that this issue is being originated by the backup process. I have tried a few things: restarted PCs/Sentinel/Switch/Modem to no avail. All updates have been carried-out. Also, I checked other forums/threads but haven't found a similar problem. Everything is working fine, except that we can’t do searches in WE (also searches don’t work in Word or any other software). Inexplicably, WE starts to work again by itself in full capacity a few hours later. Please let me know if there is a solution to this issue. Thanking you in advance.

Hi Gramps, Many thanks for your thoughts. It took me a while to try various ideas, hence my slow response. When Windows Explorer was not working, Remote Desktop Connection was not working either (it was hung-up and would not load further than saying something along the lines of: updating desktop settings). However, the Dashboard remained operational during this time. In answer to your query: Yes, I shared the USB My Passport from the Dashboard when I first set-up the system 9 months ago. Following your ideas, I unshared the drive using the Dashboard. This took few hours. Then I rebooted the Sentinel and all the PCs. I’m glad to report that the WE is now fully operational and that the WE search function is now working. Also, RDC is working again. I’m beginning to agree with your thoughts that File Indexing is the problem since I have been disconnecting the USB My Passport as soon as the copying of files was completed (thus Indexing may have been incomplete). Please let me know if there is a way of testing if “File Indexing” has been completed. Much appreciated.

Windows Explorer was crashing/restarting every few seconds and after trying several different methods of fixes, the only one that worked was removing Firefox, is there something I've missed that I can get Firefox back?

I'm running a Toshiba Satellite laptop that was originally running Windows Vista 32-bit, but was upgraded by me to Windows 7 32-bit. On Windows Vista, all I would run was Firefox. I loved it!!! On Windows 7, I've noticed that Firefox kept hanging whenever I would try to download a file...from anywhere. I got so frustrated I went to try several different browsers. They all worked extremely quickly, whereas Firefox was working so slow, I could click on a link to a page, go get some lunch, come back and it still be trying to load the page. This was drastically unusual for Firefox. I used the other browsers and everything was fine for a week and then Windows Explorer started going down every few seconds. I went to the windows 7 forums and started looking. There were several suggestions on how to fix the problem, none of which worked for my compy. I tried restarting the compy in safe mode. That didn't help. I turned off every startup program except for the essentials and that DID work in keeping Windows Explorer from restarting. I then dove into the tedious task of trying to discern which 3rd party program was the offender. I removed everything from my compy that had been downloaded in the last ten days (well before the windows explorer issue, but not before the firefox issue). That didn't work either. I tried replacing an explorer file, which didn't work either. There were several other things I tried, as well, but nothing worked. Then, I saw a post that Firefox had caused the problem for one person. I went in and did as was suggested and completely removed Firefox and all associated files. Unfortunately, this worked. I haven't had any more trouble with windows explorer restarting. My big problem is, however, I can't run Firefox!!! And I LOVE Firefox!!! It's spoiled me! I hate Internet explorer, which is what I'm forced to run now. I've tried Safari and Google Chrome and don't like either one of those, either. I want my Firefox back! But if it's not working 100% it's less frustrating to be forced to live with the Internet Explorer. I'm going insane, here! Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried clearing out browser history, changing download files and a couple of other things and nothing worked with the Firefox to get it going better before I started having the Windows Explorer difficulty and had to completely erase the Firefox program. If I've missed any info, please don't hesitate to ask!! I'm happy to supply whatever I know about the issue!!

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Windows Explorer encountered a validation error (?)

Hello. I've seen the above message multiple times with reinstalling Windows, and for different .dll - but mostly the kernelbase.
My motherboard is a MSi product, so I was given a Drivers & Utilities disc to enable internet. As soon as I install the LAN driver, it gives me the error message. The disc also gives me an installation of Google Chrome, but for whatever reason, it's
slow and won't allow me the search engine nor click on any links to obtain a security program like Avast.
The message also pops up whenever I am trying to access IE. Since I'm avoiding the Chrome install from the disc, I tried to maneuver and seek Avast via IE, but it's the same slowness I've encountered with Chrome.
I've tried reinstalling Windows 7 Professional a couple of times to rid of the problem - because I am fairly ignorant and assumed that a virus leaked from just staring at Yahoo! the very first time I was able to open IE. Maybe that isn't the correct road
to take, but there you have it.
I've read other threads of this topic, but everyone's situation is unique and I'm in need of some help. This is a brand new set-up that I've built myself -- and whenever I assembled parts with a MSi motherboard before, with the Drivers & Utilities disc,
I have never encountered the error message before in my life. My internet browsers never took a millennium to open.
Thank you to whomever answers this.
EDIT ADDITION: There is a program option in the Start menu that reads 'Windows PowerShell' and it's for modules. However, it is unable to do so because of the "execution of scripts is disabeled on this system".

Hi,
The validation errors occur if certain Shell Extension not compatible with Windows or some system files are corrupted.
Regarding Windows Explorer issue, please use ShellExView to disable related extensions of Windows Explorer:
Download ShellExView v1.41 from the following link
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip
Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
b. Extract "shexview.zip" file and open shexview.exe. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.
c. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.
d. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.
e. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
I would suggest that you run a SFC scan which would scan for corrupt system files on the computer and replace them.
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
Please also install any available Windows updates. Many service packs and other patches replace or update some of the hundreds of Microsoft distributed DLL files on your computer.
If the troubleshooting advices above is unsuccessful, performing a Startup Repair should restore all Windows DLL files to their working versions.

Windows explorer disappears when I access my usb 3 hd

Hi all,
I'm having a very bizarre and infuriating problem where windows explorer often shuts down on me unexpectedly when I am accessing information on my usb 3 western digital hard drive that is attached via my docking station. I have spent about 2 weeks trying to work out what is going on and despite my attempts to fix it recurs....
I have the latest updates from Lenovo
I have the latest bios
I have the latest Windows updates (running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit)
I have the latest intel usb 3 driver for my T430 (core i7 3520M)
I have the latest firmware and drivers for the WD My Passport HD
I have had the docking station replaced by Lenovo
None of this has helped, so if anyone can advise that would be really appreciated as this weird windows explorer issue is making things unworkable for me. I am led to believe that this is a usb 3 issue specifically because the windows explorer issues doesn't seem to happen when the WD HD is plugged into a usb 2 port (or at least for the couple of hours I was running it in that port explorer didn't die).
Michael.

I'm wondering if Windows is maybe shutting down the USB 3.0 to save power?
Unfortunately I don't have a system here with 3.0 but maybe you could take a peek in the properties of the controller in device manager to see if there is a power management option to allow Windows to turn it off as with USB 2.0 and other hardware.

LOOOOOONG pauses in Windows Explorer with file copy, rename, new folder, etc.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit pro and I am experiencing horribly long pauses in Windows Explorer on very simple file operations, such as renaming a file, copying a file, creating a new folder, etc. Here is an example:
1. Open a folder in windows explorer, e.g. My Documents
2. Select a file
3. Hit F2 and enter a new name for the file, then hit ENTER to save the name
4. Windows Explorer now shows the wait cursor and becomes completely unresponsive, sometimes for MINUTES.
This is crazy. I read somewhere it may be due to shell extensions -- another post specifically called out MagicDisc, but I uninstalled that and still have the problem. After a fresh reboot the problem usually is not there immediately, but always comes back eventually.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Lex3001,
I would like to confirm what are the results in Safe Mode and Clean Boot?
I also would like to suggest you run ShellExView again and disable some shell extensions to check the issue.
Run ShellExView
=================
1. Launch ShellExView again and scan the computer.
2. Press "Ctrl" on the keyboard and click all items which are marked in pink in the list.
3. Choose "File" then "Disable Selected Items".
4. Quit and restart the computer to check the Windows Explorer issue again.
Does it work?
In addition, I also would like to suggest you create a new user account to check the result

Windows Explorer Displays Redirected Folders as a Different Name

Hi Guys,
Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2 has this new feature where it displays folders in which you have ownership of as "Documents" or "Start Menu" for Folder Redirection.
This only renames it when browsing it through Windows Explorer (explorer.exe). If you browse the folders through a command prompt using DIR, it will display the correct name... %username%.
I think Microsoft did this to make it more user friendly, but HOW DO I TURN IT OFF its annoying!
I wrote this program in visual basic that takes ownership of a folder, Grants Administrators, SYSTEM and %username% full control. It grabs %username% from the folder name as ususally with redirection the folder in which the data is redirected to =
%username%. After setting the permissions correctly the program then gives ownership BACK to the user.
Anyway upon running my little application... look what explorer did. I had Ownership of the folder for a split second before the application gave ownership back. Because of this when I opened up the folder Explorer populated many of the
folders as "Application Data" when they should be displayed as %username%.
Even though the user now has ownership of the folders now, it still displays them as Application Data! If I log into the file server as another user account, it displays them correctly. Explorer is caching this meta data under the users
profile somewhere.
There is NO information on this on the internet. Can someone at Microsoft give me some information to turn this functionality of explorer.exe off or tell me where this meta data is stored so I can blow it away without having to re-create the entire
profile?

All,
We have numerous customers running W2K8 SP & R2 environments, none of which have reported this issue. Oddly enough though we have recently provisioned a W2K8 R2 remote desktop
host farm for a custom who has a w2k3 R2 environment.
We performed all the pre requisites to host the farm in the W2K3 R2 domain, and added the GPO structure to one of the W2K8 R2 servers as you cannot make remote desktop GPO’s
with W2K3 R2 GPO’s.
User do not have profile or home directory paths defined in AD
Profile and home folder paths are defined in the GPO
Folder redirection is enabled for Documents and Application Data
BEHAVIOR:
To start with when users logged onto the RD Farm they had their home folder path correctly set and the folder names in the root of the share was correct.
\\server\share\username1\ect
Then after 3 months we noticed that users home folder path was no longer being created with the %username% structure and looked like this
\\server\share\my documents\ect
The profile and application data folder redirection is working
as expected by creating a folder with the username.
The document folder redirection is not working correctly.
CONFIGURATION:
Set path for Remote Desktop Services Roaming User Profile
Enabled
Profile path
\\SERVER\profileshare\
Specify the path in the form,
\\Computername\Sharename
Set Remote Desktop Services User Home Directory
Enabled
Location:
On the Network
Home Dir Root Path:
\\SERVER\homeshare\
If home path is on the network, specify drive letter for the mapped drive.
Drive Letter
U:
Current GPO Settings:
AppData(Roaming)hide
Setting: Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)hide
Path:
\\SERVER\SHARE1\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming
Documentshide
Setting: Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)hide
Path: %HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%
ISSUE:
When enumerating via windows explorer on the Windows 2003 R2 or Windows 2008 R2 servers you see some document folders with
the correct %username% name, but mostly they are all enumerating as My Documents.
If you open a command prompt on the W2K3 R2 server and perform a DIR you will see a list of %username% folders correctly.
CONCLUTION:
I am going to dig deeper into file/folder level attribute flags set by default when creating folders by windows 2008, as I feel there is a problem with windows 2008 Server creating
data in a windows 2003 R2 server ntfs folder structure. I am aware NTFS has been upgraded and the version used in 2003 is not the same as 2008 and above.
If I find a solution I will update this ticket

Issues with Blackberry Playbook not being recognised by Windows Explorer

Hello, I'm new to the forums but am having the same problems as many others are, that being my Playbook not regonised by Windows Explorer. I have tried all of the solutions I have read like unistalling Desktop Manager, uninstalling then re-installing drives in Windows Device Manager. But one I recently stumbled across was uninstalling Blackberry Device Manager, how do I do this?
Also the main problem appears to be that my Playbook will not sync anything with my computer. In Desktop Manager I can back-up my Playbook, but not sync anything. After re-installing a drive I now get the message of: 'Your Blackberry device is not compatible with this feature' whereas before I got the message of: 'You haven't configured any sync methods' but yet all of the sync options were greyed out.
How do I get Windows Explorer to recognise my Playbook as a drive and how can I sync in Desktop Manager?
Thanks in advance!
Note: I'm using Windows 7 32-Bit

Internet Explorer issue In Windows 8.1

In IE 11 in Windows 8.1 I found below issue:
1) I found out that browser cache in Windows 8.1 is stored in “InetCache” folder which is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache. But when this folder is accessed from windows explorer, the contents shown are different from, when
it is accessed through Browser Tools->Internet Options->General->Browsing history->Settings->View files.
2) Now go to above said path (mentioned in #1 issue)from cmd. Now run dir command we see that it lists out some files and directory name.Even though we delete everything from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache by selecting (ctrl+A->shift+delete).
Can anyone help me in knowing why it does not delete everything from folder C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache when we clear all the item? What is the purpose of the file that is listed out in cmd (like counters.dat, low directory etc)?
3)How this directory can be deleted? When I delete the C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low, again it gets created. How we can can delete counters.dat file from INetCache folder. What is the purpose of this dat file.
4) The issue mentioned In #2 and #3 are also seen in Windows 7.
Please help me in knowing the answer of the above question.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1) I found out that browser cache in Windows 8.1 is stored in “InetCache” folder which is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache. But when this folder is accessed from windows explorer, the contents shown are different from, when
it is accessed through Browser Tools->Internet Options->General->Browsing history->Settings->View files.
Do you mean that you're unable to find the file path via File Exploerer, some files\folders are hidden and system protected, we need to go to control panel\Folder Options\View, then check Show hidden files & folders option, but also uncheck Hide protected
operating system files/folders option, then you will find the files.
2) Now go to above said path (mentioned in #1 issue)from cmd. Now run dir command we see that it lists out some files and directory name.Even though we delete everything from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache by selecting
(ctrl+A->shift+delete). Can anyone help me in knowing why it does not delete everything from folder C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache when we clear all the item? What is the purpose of the file that is listed out in cmd (like
counters.dat, low directory etc)?
3)How this directory can be deleted? When I delete the C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low, again it gets created. How we can can delete counters.dat file from INetCache folder. What is the purpose of this dat file.
Regarding to Q2 and 3, I tested this issue, same result as yours, after I delet all the files under the cache folder, but the result of dir is still shown as below:
First the "Low" folder is to cache files when running IE in protected mode. the cache is considered as a virtual folder with the same low privilege as that of the Internet Explorer process itself. Regarding to the counters.dat file, and here is a

Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window

Yes, yes, I've googled it already. And bing-ed it just for fun too.
This doesn't work:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/samewindow.htm
Nor does this:
http://blog.hansmelis.be/2009/05/17/windows-vista-explorer-opens-folders-in-a-new-window/
Yes, yes, I've checked the Open in same folder option in folder options.
I've used shellex to disable context menu items.
I've rebooted a hundred times.
This is rediculous. Windows should only recognize ONE setting for this and that is the one in folder options. Anything else that affects it is a BUG!
I'm on build 7100 RC.
And I'm quite frustrated with this.
Please help!

importing x64 keys to an x86 installation may not work. HKLM\WOW6432Node\Classes\Interface would have to be combined with (overwrite)
the standard location and then that be copied/imported to the x86 install. Even then, there might be some unanticipated problems.
It's good that you had a registry backup available in system restore. Although I like the inherent security and reliability in the Vista/Win7 system restore implementations, one thing that I miss was being able to pluck only the registry files from
a restore point; like I used to do with WinXP.
<<...Yes, my case is precisely (Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window) on
Win7. ....>>
Also, that is too general. There is more nitty-gritty details that have to be verified, such as whether the issue is per-user,
or whether the "Explore" option is in bold and works properly when manually selected. In a lot of cases, that simply may not be in bold which means it's no longer the default action on double-click. (requires different set of steps to resolve,
focusing on another part of the registry) But from what you've stated on JAVA update 20, there well could be some changes to the HKLM portion of that Interface key... don't know. A before and after registry compare usually helps pin down the issue.
EDIT 10y04m24d_130735:
One other thing that occurs to me, is that the dreaded Yahoo toolbar often installs with Sun Microsystems's JAVA. I've removed such toolbars on many browsers because they render IE8 unstable/unreliable with occasional to routine freezes/crashes.
