Browser gets "Cannot complete your request because of a program error"

Running Photoshop-7, WinXP Pro, on a PC with 2MB ram.

PS7 was working fine but I installed a new Samsung 2253BW LCD monitor, and about 3 new software. I don't know what I did but when I opened PS7, the browser's left window pane does not show the folders at the left and only shows (+)Desktop. The right window pane shows thumbnails of whatever folder I'm in.

WHAT I CANNOT DO:
When I click the (+) for the Desktop icon in the left pane, I get the message "Cannot complete your request because of a program error."

WHAT I CAN DO:
I can browse using the textbox above the right window pane and access any graphic file I want to.

THINGS I'VE TRIED:
- Removed PS7. Installed PS7. --- Same problem.
- Created a new user --- PS7 works normally!
- Go back to the original user. --- Same problem.

Any ideas before I get a sledge hammer?

Never mind, I found the problem.
It was a new desktop icon named "" that a new software must have installed. I deleted it and now PS7's browser works normally again. Pretty unbelievable!

Putting back the sledgehammer,

Are you familiar with ? I was curious and you might want to see what software installed that unless you installed it on purpose:

It's not really PS related so you're on your own from here.
