I am not sure what happened, but suddenly the dialog for browsing for a folder no longer works on my computer (see screenshot #1 below). It's not just one application. I have at least two more that has the same isue.

Another issue that I believe is related is that some open-file dialog no longer displays the address bar (see screenshot #2). Again, it is several different applications in which this is happening.

I've uninstalled software that was installed right prior to this issue rearing its head, but still nothing. I know I can just go back to a restore point, but I'm curious to know what happened.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Number 1:

Browser for folder

Number 2: enter image description here

Looks like someone solved it by running sfc /scannow

After rebooting, I would do a system restore before I tried anything else.

  • Downvote, really? It was working, now it is not...Go back to when it was working...pretty obvious.

  • OK, after rebooting...I was talking about actual troubleshooting.

  • I agree. This is by far the best solution, next to googling around for an obscure error that, impossibly, Google hasn't even heard of
