This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If you click Close, Windows Explorer quits.
If you click Details, the following information appears:
EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module <module name> at
<memory location address>.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the path length setting in the Svrapi.dll file
is set to 128 bytes. This length is too short.
