Dear All CG'ian,

I'm facing a problem when opening my folder. I have installed photoshop and some fonts into my machine, and only discovered that i can't access my fonts folder anymore. The other folders is okie, it's just fonts folder.

It prompted out "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to be close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I can still access the folder via command prompt. The only problem is that i want to delete a few fonts from the folder, which need to view the full name of the fonts on explorer.

Need a hand here to help out.

Thanks

p/s:Machine running Win XP Pro SP1, 512 ram and 2.4Ghz.

This same thing happened to me... unfortunately I never figured out why it was doing this, or HOW to fix it. I just figured I had a corrupt font file in there or something... anyways, I formatted my hard drive not long ago, and of course that fixed it. :) I'll be interested in seeing if anyone else has ever come across this problem...

You could try to access the font folder from a command prompt and simply delete the newly installed font files. That should do the trick.

Thanks JamesMK and gutterboxkid for the input

Format the hard disk certainly would help out. But I'm trying to look for other solution. I'm looking for a way to solve the problem without re-installing my windows.

I can certainly delete the fonts, but the problem is, the explorer is corrupted now. I can access it from the command prompt without problem.

Okie, font comes with a file name and a font name. What we usually see in Fonts Folder are both, but what we see on comman prompt is just file name. So, it's also quite hard to identified the font that i want to delete.

I'm trying to solve the problem of fixing my explorer, anyone ever solve that?
