Hi all,

I installed Windows 7 x64 Build 7229 and after setting the folder options I could reboot the PC but I couldn't get Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer to work. If I click on the icons for either program the desktop will remain the same. If I continue to click on either program the desktop will go white and will fail to work, however games and other programs will work as long as you don't try to start Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer first.

After starting over with a re-installation of Windows 7 I started setting the folder options one at a time.
When I put a check in the "Restore previous folder windows at login" box The problem came back. With this option checked, if you reboot while a instance of Windows Explorer is running, the same Windows Explorer starts after windows reboots.

This folder option is broken on my PC. Has anyone else had this problem? I don't remember seeing this folder option in previous Builds of Windows 7. Could someone check this option to see if its a problem with this build of Windows 7 or my PC?
