Windows 10: Start Menu not opening, Explorer refreshes whenever folders are opened and said folders...

Genuine Windows 10, came with Asus Zenbook.
Since yesterday, I can't save anything, as the "save" browser box doesn't open.

As soon as I open any folders, explorer refreshes and said folder is closed instantly.

Also, the Start Menu doesn't open.
Tried running MalwareBytes once, got a BSOD, will try again. Please help ASAP, it's my dad's laptop and he needs it for work.

Opening a Folder in VC++

I've recently started learning VC++ and it's coming along quite nicley, I've now been given a little task by my boss to add a button to an excisting Incident report program.

All the button needs to do is open a new explorer window and open the folder selected in the incident report program. There isn't a deadline for it, it's just to assist in my learning.

I'm not asking for anyone to do it for me, i just need a few suggestions on how to do this so i'm looking in the correct direction?

Thanks

 

Opening a Folder in VC++

Use ShellExecute, like this:
Code: ShellExecute(NULL, "explore", "C:\", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWDEFAULT);[/quote] And replace "C:\" with whatever folder path you want to open.
Good luck.

 

Opening a Folder in VC++

I've got the button working now, it opens the folder which I've stated.

I'm now looking at reading a string the user inputs, from this string I want to be able identify and open the folder using the button.

Is this in the range of someone at intermediate level?

Furthermore, is there a function like equalsIgnoreCase in c++ and would this be viable for doing what I need?
