I have had a similar problem with this. I don't know if it's related or not but when a user put some pictures in their "My Pictures" folder, every time they opened the directory in explorer it would give a C++ Runtime error (don't remember what one). So I changed the default folder layout from Thumbnails to Details (or whatever) and it opened just fine... Delete the pic's and (even the "sample" ones) and it works just fine.

From: Michael Wassell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 9:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: explorer.exe hangs on folder access This is a very strange problem I experienced a few weeks ago and just yesterday I've noticed it happen again. This only happens with a single folder, all others are fine. This particular instance the folder is completely empty except for "My Pictures" being automatically created within. Expected cause: User Personal (My Documents) folders are redirected to a central location on the file server. User is not granted exclusive rights to their user folders rights are inherited from parent. User folders are automatically created when user first logs into the domain. Symptom: When user attempts to log in the explorer.exe process hangs and the desktop is never created. User can log off by using Task Manager, or forcing a logoff/shutdown using shutdown.exe. Explorer.exe hangs when any PC attempts to access the user folder (including locally on the server). Strangely enough, I am able to copy the contents of the folder elsewhere using the explorer interface and am able to retrieve a directory listing using command prompt. Taking ownership of the folder does not resolve the issue. Desktop.ini shows being accessed by whichever user is attempting to access the folder, visible using computer management mmc snap-in. Forcibely closing all instances does not resolve the issue. Resolution: Restarting the server resolves the issue. Does anyone have ANY clue what this might be? Server is running Windows Server 2003 Std. Ive considering calling M$FT on the issue but I'm sure they'll suggest that I restart the server. TIA for any input.
