Many times the "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" error, especially when
browsing folders, is due to a 3rd party entry added to the right-click
context menu of Windows Explorer, and it isn't working out too well,
registry-wise. Is there a program that you've installed that has added an
item to your context menu when you right-click folders? If so, check that
Program's Options/ Preferences/Properties to see to see if that shell
extension can be turned off. Otherwise, I would uninstall the program, or
ask for help on how to find the particular context menu entry in the
registry, so that you can delete it.

I am having the same issues. It just started doing that. I tried right
clicking, using explorer, changing properties, all to no avail. One day it
worked, then next it did not. Very frustrating.

Hello,

You might try going here and try it to see if it helps you. It resets
the folder's association.

Hope it helps,

I see a lot of people with this problem when trying to rename a folder, I've
tried to rename in safe mode and it still won't keeps telling me "Folder
does not exist".

I'd think it can't be another program if it happens in safe mode?
