Windows 8 can't get into library files

My folders in the library folder(Document, video, music, and pictures) won't open. There's a green arrow appearing on the icon and the folders say Libraries-MS File if I click on them it doesn't do anything. My favorites in internet explorer are also showing the same green arrow. I've tried running an Avg complete computer scan. Removing the virses, deleting the folders restarting the computer and then left clicking restore default libraries on the folders, but no luck I still have green arrows appearing on the favorites and libraries folders. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How about a screenshot? Kinda sounds like something I might of seen on my W7.

I have the same problem with my brand new Acer (V3-571G-9686). View attachment 75019

Yeah, I'm having the exact some problem with Windows 8. It just started doing it today after some system updates occurred. I can't even open to view what is inside, this is as far as it will let me go. It's rather frustrating, any help at all will be gratefully appreciated.

I'm having the same exact problem! Not to mention, Windows Live has been having a "temporary problem" with the service that verifies my gmail email that I used to make my account... I also have no access to any of the apps because of the issue with Windows Live!!! Windows 8 is a nightmare!!! My screen looks just like Aramis14's!!!

Well I am running Windows 8 and have not seen this problem at all, It must be something having to do with your default applications, or maybe a third party software application you installed changed the open with keys in the registry, It looks like something that can be fixed, you will have to post more info about your systems, try uninstalling your antivirus, and go through each application as well as the event logs back when this first happened, It may take some work, but you guys can definitely fix this issue.

Rabbit01, I appreciate the help, however I've already tried this and still nothing changes. I can't open any of my libraries. Unlike in the link you provided, when I click on my libraries, I do not get an error message. What happens instead is nothing. It acts as if I never even clicked on it. Also, when I try to create a new library, my new library does the exact same thing as the others.

I tried running the Libraryfix_Win7, and still no results. I also tried the command prompt solution. Still no change. However I am running Windows 8, rather than Windows 7. If that makes any difference.
