Explorer.exe crashes Wednesday, August 20, 2003 at 5:18 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by George (161 messages posted) Hello...Decided to come and ask the experts...I am using Windows XP Professional and I have an annoyance. When my computer is...I sometimes get a message saying that my explorer.exe has crashed...thus asking me to send an error report etc. I get this many times...what happens after that is only the desktop apperas and then everything goes back to normal. If windows media 9.0 is playing and I close it the music still plays. Also...i sometimes loose some taskbar icons...Just what is this explorer.exe crash and how can it be fixed. thanks.
