Everything I open comes up as a blank window. If I open a folder on my
desktop it's blank. Even when I open my C drive it's blank. The task bar
reads Windows Explorer for the folder I open. Please help, I've never seen
this happen before.

Thanks.

Can you post an image of your screen somewhere online and then give us a
link here to see the window?

I can't do that, but I just realized that my CPU is at 100% and it's all
because of explorer.exe. I turned off explorer and was able to access my
folders again. So my question now is how do I get explorer working correctly
again...I guess?

Please look in your Event logs.

Start/Orb, type event, click on Event Viewer.

Let us know what you find.

Just in case, scan for malware/virus infection.
