in my noob opinion, it kinda sounds like it's wiping the browsing history really fast (or not even keeping the history in the first place)

but I've only ever seen that happen in Internet Explorer, never in Windows Explorer

format and reinstall lol ... solves everything :)

maybe a dumb question, but have you restarted?

I know a lot of people just shut the laptops, which puts them in sleep mode, but very rarely do they get shut down or restarted properly

Is this happening for all folders? did you just use my documents as an example?

Also is the back button visible or is it just greyed out and not able to be clicked on when you move forwards in a folder

Backspace does the same thing as clicking "back" does this work?

My suggestion would be to reset you folder settings, go under say local drive c then tools / folder options

Click, Restore Defaults, resets the view / browsing settings for Explorer windows

My suggestion is get a Mac :)

My suggestion is to re-mortgage the house... then you can get a mac.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, Glenn i'll PM Flyrat now, otherwise i think a backup and format may be on the cards...was kind of hoping it was just a setting i was overseeing!
