i sort of hesitated to download this registry, because it involved adding the file to the system and risk unwanted changes..
nonetheless, i decided to download it since the problem has been extremely frustrating and i have yet to found a solution..
and thankfully...it worked. it solved my problem and windows explorer no longer restarts if opened.
BIG THANKS to the post by Ronald Asade!!!!!
my o/s is vista btw.
here's what i did and would recommend to people who have the similar problem.
- I clicked the link
http://tinyurl.com/2o3852 and proceeded to download it.
- Access the file by double-clicking it.
- It will confirm whether you want it to be added with the registry files, allow it.
- After it has been completely added, restart you computer!
hopefully if all goes well, your problem will be fixed like mine!!
best of luck!
thanks again to ronald asade!! your awesome.
