I had a new 'puter from Dell and have similar problems where once explorer.exe crashes, then it will repeatedly crash if I even start it from desktop or Start menu. Most times, it crashes when I am simply browsing across my network drives or moving files around. The only 'solution' I found is to create a shortcut that starts Explorer without the tree on the left pane. Use properties: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /select,c:\whatever <- replace with your starting directory. For whatever reason that seems to minimize crashes. Next tme I have a free weekend I plan to do a fresh install of Win200 pro. I'd be curious if anyone else has similar problems or solutions...
