Ok well the problem lies not in JDK or IDE but in OS itself.... This error occurs if you try to change "Shell.dll" and related shell files which then are not recognized by JDK6+ that is why it works on JDK6 Netbeans6.5.1 I was using 7tsp Metro UI Icon theme. It has happened to other people with different themes. If someone faces this problem without theme [or without reset option] then they can try taking <shell.dll, explorer.exe, shell32.dll, imageres.dll, imagesp1.dll, networkexplorer.dll, zipfldr.dll> file from another PC of same OS [Virtual OS should do too]
