Re: Windows Explorer hangs when deleting or renaming files

Just as another piece of info, I installed Firefox and have Safari (sorry I like it) as default

But the problem appeared after installing the March updates and patches from Microsoft, had to roll back a couple of times in order to take off both the SO and the Office updates

And then, after the second rollback it happened...

Re: Windows Explorer hangs when deleting or renaming files

I used what is being suggested in the thread

Deleting problems with Vista

And found a problem with a file named "imageres.dll" in the System32 folder

Does anyone knows what this file does/is?

The log created with sfc /scannow shows the repair message

"CSI 00000174 Hashes for file member \??\C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll do not match actual file [l:24{12}]"imageres.dll"

and

"Repairing corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:46{23}]"\??\C:\Windows\System32"\[l:24{12}]"imageres.dll"

Thank you

I registered just to say thank you--I've been looking for a solution to the very same problem for hours and this was the one thing that worked. Thanks so much!

Re: Windows Explorer hangs when deleting or renaming files

It could be that you installed something recently and it is causing a race
condition within explorer.
