Hi Rod, I wrote a little app called "Windows Annoyances", and one of the things it corrects is the loss of focus for the listview of files in a windows explorer window.
Since then, I haven't had this problem, and I think Brendon may be correct in suggesting the preview pane (it may be causing the loss of focus). So, if anyone is still losing focus even though preview pane is not checked, you could try the Windows Annoyances app to see if it solves it.

Try pressing tab, and then shift tab, back to the explorer list, and then try your arrow keys again to navigate.

When i bring up my computer, and go to a folder, i can depress the enter key on that folder, then it'll hang in the list of files for some unknown reason. It does this with many folders. So i hit alt f4, and it says close the program button, or wait for the program to respond button. So i click on close. Then when i go back to my computer, press enter on it, this is what i get It'll play the dong sound and say, windows explorer, the remote procedure call failed but did not exicute. The only solution i ahve at that point is to do a reboot. My question is, why would it hang up when entering a folder of files? There is no logical reason for that happening. I'm running a windows 7 machine with plenty of memory. Any thoughts? If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
