    Suggestion


    I looked at your crash dump and can't guarantee to fix the problem but here's something to try for a start.##

    If I'm correct - you have Spybot S&D installed.

    There might be an issue with Spybot S&D shell integration (right click menu).

    Open Spybot (right click on icon and "Run as Administrator")
    Click "Advanced User Mode"
    Select Settings and click "System Integration" tab
    Uninstall "Windows Explorer Integration"
    Click "Apply" and "Ok".
    You can also launch settings using the icon in the System Tray.

    Reboot when done and see if that fixed it!

    Edit: If the above doesn't work - downloaad the latest version of Autoruns

    Autoruns for Windows v12.03

    Extract the files to a folder on your desktop and from that folder find autoruns.exe - right click and choose "run as administrator"

    When the scan has finished click the Save button and save as a text file (.txt)

    Thank you, I do have Spybot S&D. As soon as I get home I will do as you say and let you know what happens. Incidentally, Autoruns is one of the programs that I recently used to try and fix the registry myself. I will have to redownload it, though, as I had trouble with it not functioning as I expected and I uninstalled it.

    Autoruns doesn't require installation. You just download the "Autoruns.zip" and extract to a folder on your desktop and run the executable from there. A new version was released yesterday.

    It you can't get it to work don't worry too much. I just wanted to get a look at the entries that show what's integrating with Explorer shell. (Other than Spybot) - There are other ways of finding this information.

    but I am pretty sure it doesn't have any reg files attached
    Pretty much all Windows-based programs will write to the Registry when they install although the User will not actually see it being done and there'll not be any .reg files in the program's Folder.

    THANK YOU to Callender and +9001 internet points as well! Removing the explorer integration from Spybot S&D totally fixed the issue. I was wrong about the registry hack ruining explorer...it's just what made me notice the issue in the first place.

    I should also say thank you to everyone else who was helping me - you taught me a lot even if you didn't directly fix the problem. :)
