For the past week or so every time I right click on a .exe file or a shortcut I get the "windows explorer has encountered an error and needs to close" error then windows explorer restarts. My Event View logs are as follows: The Information log reads: - System - Provider [ Name] Windows Error Reporting - EventID 1001 [ Qualifiers] 0 Level 4 Task 0 Keywords 0x80000000000000 - TimeCreated [ SystemTime] 2008-09-09T23:14:33.000Z EventRecordID 14719 Channel Application Computer Jonathan-Laptop Security - EventData 809056470 1 APPCRASH None 0 explorer.exe 6.0.6001.18000 47918e5d StackHash_2e7a 6.0.6001.18000 4791a7a6 c0000374 000b015d C:\Users\Jonny Octagon\AppData\Local\Temp\WERB56A.tmp.version.txt C:\Users\Jonny Octagon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\Report0fa3ce46 The Error log reads: - System - Provider [ Name] Application Error - EventID 1000 [ Qualifiers] 0 Level 2 Task 100 Keywords 0x80000000000000 - TimeCreated [ SystemTime] 2008-09-09T23:14:26.000Z EventRecordID 14718 Channel Application Computer Jonathan-Laptop Security - EventData explorer.exe 6.0.6001.18000 47918e5d ntdll.dll 6.0.6001.18000 4791a7a6 c0000374 000b015d 1224 01c912d19bf8744e ________________________________________________________________________ I'm running Windows Vista Business SP1 (32bit) Any help will be greatly appreciated..
