I had a similar problem with a customers computer. It turned out to be a virus that corrupted the explore.exe file but was not detected by Norton Antivirus. I formatted the hard drive and re-installed windows, but the problem persisted. What finally resolved the issue was flashing the BIOS, running FDISK and recreating the primary DOS partition and the installing windows. If you've been careful to keep up to date backups of your data files, this shouldn't be too big an issue for you.
