Yes, you're quite right, the instructions above are incomplete. Sorry.
I updated another thread with info regarding a second registry value (CorporateWERServer) that needs to be added if the cabs/dumps are to be prevented from disappearing:

Anyway, we got lucky and two of your "reports" actually do contain dumps, possibly because you were viewing the folder contents at the time so they were "locked" and couldn't be deleted (I've yet to work out precisely what that WER mechanism is doing).
Your crashes look very similar to many of the others I've seen - heap corruption without obvious references to 3rd-party code. It may indeed be a bug in Win7 that manifests itself under very specific circumstances (relatively few experience these crashes).
This update contains newer versions of Explorer.exe and several associated executables:
An update is available to improve the stability and reliability of Windows 7 and of Windows Server 2008 R2
If the heap corruption issues which crash Explorer and the MMC turn out to be bugs known to MS, the update above may have already addressed them. Hence, I'd suggest installing the update.
