Something in the folder is causing windows to crash. Try to copy the folder and see if the new folder has the same problem. If it still does, it means the old folder is fine and the contents of the folder are the problem. Try getting into the folder using the Command Prompt. If you can get in, try to save your files by copying them out of the folder to a different folder. You may be able to figure out which file or files are the problem from here. The problem file(s) will probably need to be deleted. If the bad file(s) are important to you, before deleting them, you can try to open them with Notepad or Wordpad and then save what you can.

Can WMI has encountered a problem and needs to close pop up be avoided It must have popped up a jillion times or more. Close and shut up?

Yes this can be avoided but, the problem is...you shouldn't be having this problem in the first place. There must be an error in your windows installation because the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is apart of the normal running of the Windows Operating system. This can be disabled by going to Start>Run>"msconfig">Ok>Services>Find "Windows Management Instrumentation" in the list and untick it, then click "Apply" then "Ok" Then restart your Pc, this should stop the program from popping up in the future. WARNING: Disabling this service may cause more problems for your PC If a problem occurs, simply follow the same instructions that I have given but TICK IT again, and then restart.
