Hi,

I'm from Germany and I hope to find a solution to my problem with Windows 8 Pro x64 (I was forwarded to this forum from Manjunath Siddappa in the Windows 8 Community):

When an application creates a file dialog, for example using a &quotsave as...&quot command AND the path points to my desktop, the application freezes / crashes. I have tested this with pdfCreator (3rd party program), SnippingTool and the Windows Editor.

However, Office 2013 does not crash under these circumstances.

Reseting the default &quotsave as...&quot path to a different location than to my desktop solves the problem.

I'm using Windows 8 Pro with a domain user account on windows server 2012 (both from MSDNAA / Dreamspark).
I noticed that this issue doesn't appear when I disable network file sharing, so I guess it's got something to do with the file dialog window loading the network items in the tree view on the left.
I hope someone might be able to help me or get me at least in the right direction.

Thanks!
