windows explorer...

[arravalli12]

my computer freezes on clicking windows explorer and cannot browse folders. What could be the problem. I ran adaware, spy bot, recent windows update, did defragmentation etc but problem not resolved...
What could be the problem and how to resolve this?

It could be a manually mapped drive that is no longer available or any of your drives that are no longer available as it searches all drives before letting you see them

Assuming hardware is ok, and with no history (ie, when did this start happening, what had changed prior to this happening etc), I'd suggest a repair reinstall (general cure-all!) -
