explorer crashes

lve been having some issues with explorer crashes, its an annoyance lm having on two different setups (laptop and PC), this time lve caught messages through the event viewer on my PC.

this is the following event:

Faulting application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.1.7601.23537, time stamp: 0x57c44efe
Faulting module name: MSVCR90.dll, version: 9.0.30729.6161, time stamp: 0x4dace4e7
Exception code: 0xc0000005

seems to be the same each time it happens apart from the obvious timestamp differences.

edit:

l should add the crashes seem pretty random, while l notice them most often while browsing folders, lve had one or two happen while browsing, the latest happened while opening anysoft video converter.. and l have run a SFC scan which found no issues.

Did you do a check disk chkdsk c: /f and sfc / scannow ?

no problems whatsoever have been found.

Check device manager for problematic devices (yellow).
Does it happen in safe mode?
What antivirus you are using? Try to disable it for a while.

all devices are fine an up to date, well the wireless could use updating, but the newer driver is pants.. makes my net run at a snails pace.

l doubt it will help disabling the virus software, l had one or two crashes before it had been installed. but its pretty strange that two different sets of hardware seem to suffer the same issue. if l could work out what the issue was then ld have no more issues.. tho l will note l still do get freezes opening certain video files, but unlike before they are too short to notice thanks to 32GB of ram but that issue prior to this install had been annoying me for years before my last PC, but l digress, all l have read up on the issue so far mentions corrupted c++ runtimes, right click context menu options or random files causing it which ppl have had to remove using the command prompt, but its getting to the point that lm doing something random explorer.exe crashes then closes all my open folders (tho l have had one or two crashes where the folder l happened to last open didnt close with the rest a couple of times when l happened to be browsing my file system).

tho generally my issue happens once per boot, today would be unusual in the fact lve had two explorer crashes since my last boot which so far works out as one today and one yesterday, tho l can go days without one between boots.

See: Windows Explorer crashes when trying to open certain file properties

Here's the reg file: WER_Explorer.reg

After explorer crashes zip and upload any dumps.

Also list installed software. Run a copy of free Portable Geek Uninstaller

Save a list of programs to file and zip the file and attach it when you post here.

just looked at said thread, lm assuming by creating a backup of said key l can uninstall by re-running the reg file l previously saved?

just adding the file for the uninstaller prog you suggested, restarting.. next will be the logged crash.
