2.7.1 shutting down my windows explorer ftp & direct server upload feature

so, figured I’d start a new site today, and run the newest WP package.

All seemed normal during the FTP-ing of files using windows explorer. I finaly hit one folder, and each time I tried to open the img folder in it (hapening on two folders now, not one), it shuts down IE and locks the laptop. (Paths below)

I even tried to upload by going direct to my server and importing files individually, and again, opening that folder shuts things down (crashes my browser – IE & FF). There is an issue with that folder, or a file in it, I think. Odd, though, as each file type shown is a normal image type, and those same extensions were accepted during uploads of other areas of the install, so I’m stumped.

I have searched for feedback on this issue – found none, hence my post. Either it’s just me, or I’m not using the correct terms to surface the issue in the search functionality here. ??

Here is the path to the offending folder…

httpdocs >> wp-includes >> js >> tinymce >> themes >> advanced >> skins >> default >> img
httpdocs >> wp-includes >> js >> tinymce >> themes >> advanced >> skins >> wp_theme >> img

Strangely, the third folder in >> skins>> seems to work just fine when I open it up.

When I double click the img folder, it locks up the transfer and shows me the “Would you like to send this error message to Microsoft” popup.

Doesn’t matter if I try FTP-ing in (which worked fine for everything to this point), or if I try to open direct on my dedicated server (where I host 4 other WP blogs (older version)).

Friday night I installed a phpbb set up on another domain I started, no drama with the same ftp process, same laptop, same wireless connection, same dogs sitting next to me snoring, even… ;)…

Help please…

I have also tried rebooting my laptop, and managing this process with absolutely nothing else turned on or opened – same results, same issues.
