Hi guys I had this problem on XP, and I found this to be a good solution.  Bare in 
mind that editing the registry can be dangerous so please only do it if you confident 
with editing it.

Ripped from PcStats weekly newsletter...

One thing I find with Windows is that if one part of the system, like the task bar, 
has crashed, in order to fix it you have to reset all your 'explorer' functions. 
Perhaps I'm just being stubborn, but I like the order of the icons in my taskbar...

Of course you can change this in the registry. First load up regedit (Start -> Run 
-> Regedit then press ok) and follow this path HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft 
-> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer.

From there create the DesktopProcess DWORD and give it the value 1 which makes explorer 
split into many individual services. If this causes your system problems, simply 
change the value to 0 to disable.
From now on if you overclock too high, or a piece of software causes your system 
to become unstable, you no longer have to mess up your icons or reset explorer. Just 
reset the application which has actually locked up. =)
