Hi,
Please do the following:
Click Start then type
cmd.exe in the Start Search window.
When cmd.exe populates in the Programs list,
right click the entry and select
'Run as Administrator' to open an elevated command window.
Copy the
contents of the code box below, then
right click in the command window and select
Paste.
reg save HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidlMRU "%userprofile%\desktop\OpenSavePidlMRU.hiv"
reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidlMRU /f

The commands will process quickly and the command window will close on its own.
