When you say "explorer.exe is coming up twice in the process table" do you mean that
it is showing up in the Startup tab of msconfig? Because you don't need to have it
there at all unless you WANT explorer to open automatically on startup. I don't have
it listed in my startup tab and my system is fine. If it is showing up there you
can uncheck both instances of it. Maybe that will solve your problem.

Thanks for your response:
Ended up applying fix in Microsoft's knowledge base article #228502. Everything seems
back to normal(?)
