I've been getting this for a while. I have xp home with SP3. This
happens only when I click the folder icon in the right hand side of
the explorer window. When I click on the same folder in the left
(Explorer Bar) pane, it opens with no error.
I've tried the tips at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=308421
and
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=810881
but still have the problem.

Any help appreciated.

See if applying the "Folder" and "Directory" association fixes from the
following link helps.
