  So it was working perfectly fine and then it just started doing this? There had to be something between when it was working and when it stopped working. Driver, windows updates, new program, registry editing, umm.... something...

  Google says this about your problem
  
  Microsoft acknowledges that this is a problem in Knowledge Base article #321379 and offers the following fix:

  1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
  2. Locate and then click the Default value under the following keys in the registry if this problem occurs with folders:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
  If this problem occurs with drives:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
  3. Click Modify on the Edit menu.
  4. Type none in the Value data box, and then click OK.
  5. Quit Registry Editor.

  I have also read on a few reputable sites of a quick fix that involves opening a command prompt and typing the following:
  regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
