    I guess applies to all Alienware systems but i just figured it out on my old R3. There is a section in mycolors where you can exempt certian exes from having the skin applied. Well dont add explorer.exe to it. if you do it will cause you to not be able to open new windows of folders. for example double-clicking on my computer wont open, but you will see a hung process in task manager for it. removing explorer.exe from the exemptions will correct the issue. i reformatted my r3 2 times trying to fix this and it never occured to me it was because i was adding this to my colors. I only noticed this not becuase i installed te alienguis breed theme on my netbook (ya, i said netbook, i had to have something to use while i wait on my new R3).
