Any one in here who has experienced this problem. The taskbar hangs whenever I:

-

Open a folder from a browser -
Open a usb flash drive -
Open a drive on my computer

It really sucks, but the solution to the taskbar hangs because of opening flash drive is to remove the flash drive. Which is not safe because the file system of my flash drive is ntfs. And I can't just safely remove it because the taskbar doesnt respond when I click it. Do you know any solutions to this? Other than disabling the automatically search for printer in the folder options.
