What issues are you having?

Try resetting IE. Reset Internet Explorer settings in Internet Explorer 9

Sorry the poster said Windows Explorer not Internet Explorer.
Try a system file check first

Go to Start Search Box and type CMD
While holding down CTRL and SHIFT press ENTER (opens as administrator)
(or right click and click run as administrator)
In the box that opens type
SFC /SCANNOW and press ENTER (note the gap before/)
If errors are found restart your computer and do the scan again.
Run it up to three times.
