I've uploaded an image to do the talking for me :)
How can I solve this?
EDIT: It might be helpful to point out that my problem has start with winopen not opening folders, and after some googling I've arrived at this error message I've posted.
Also, I've already tried to play all kinds of permissions, and nothing worked so far.
Lastly, this problem started after I've replaced my computer with a laptop. Both run Windows 7, both are 64 bit, and both run the same Matlab version (2013a), but for some reason, the laptop gives this error (and in case anyone is wondering, my code is 100% 'correct', because it worked on the PC (and other PCs for that matter) and has not changed ever since).

It worked for me (R2015b and Windows 10).
Perhaps you want to call winopen to the folder you want:
folder = 'C:\whatever';
winopen(folder);
Does that work?

If you run explorer from a command console window, or an icon, what folder does it open up to?

It seems like the startup folder of the Explorer contains an invalid path. Try to set the path manually:
!c:\windows\explorer.exe /n,/e,c:\
Does this work?
Then check the default folder:
Perform a shift-right-click on the explorer icon in the task bar. Open the "Properties" tab and adjust the "Target", e.g. to "%windir%\explorer.exe /e,D:\". See also: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17415/set-the-windows-explorer-startup-folder-in-windows-7
Note that this is a problem of the operating system, not of Matlab. Therefore it is off-topic in this forum.

It worked for me, sooooooooooooooooo we're back to calling tech support, like I suggested. What happened when you called them today? Did they help you?
