Default Filepicker


When I attempt to attach a file to an email with browse I get an error message 'The filepicker was unexpectedly closed by windows' and foxfire locks up. When I use the browse the desktop the window vanishes.

First I wanted to welcome you to the SysChat website. We are glad to have you. I believe we need some more information about your problem. What OS, Software, and Or website are you getting this error?

Default Filepicker


It happens when I am on the mail.com site. I am using Windows XP on a Dell INSPIRON 6000.

It could be a number of things. Let's trouble shoot a little. First you need to make sure your FireFox is the latest version. Second, Make sure your firewall is configured correctly. Also it could be that Mail.com doesn't accept certain file extensions. (ie: .zip & .exe)

Default File Picker Solution?


Did anyone ever find a solution to the "The filepicker was unexpectedly closed by windows" error? My laptop has the same problem and I have not been able to fix it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it without any success. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

I've run into the same problem.

In my case, the problem was caused by a single short cut on a desktop. When I removed that shortcut and re-created it, the problem has completely gone!!

The shortcut was ok for a very long time, so I don't know the exact reason why it suddenly caused the problem. But anyway it was solved for me.

How to find the bad shortcut:
1) put everything (except My Computer, My Documents etc) on the desktop into a new folder.
2) open that folder in a small window and scroll within it. When the bad shortcut appears in the window, the explorer.exe immediately crashes.
3) remove that shortcut.

Thanks rimmei. I'll try that if it happens again. I ended up just re-imaging the laptop. It took a good part of the day, but it fixed the problem. Good luck to those still trying to fix the filepicker problem. It's a real nuisance.

So I googled this filepicker problem I've been having and I was hoping to get a little help from you guys. Every time I click 'Browse' to attach a file using an email service (my school's email or Yahoo), the Filepicker window pops up and I'm unable to attach anything.

I'm also having a problem with my iTunes. When I click 'File>Add File to Library', my iTunes shuts down. It doesn't shut down though when I click 'File>Add Folder to Library'.

I'm thinking the two problems are related. Any suggestions?

Edit: Also, I use Windows Vista...If that helps.
