Hi Bob,

Whenever I enter the Control Panel and click on any aprticular Icon, I receive an error that Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. How can I fix this? please advise. Thanks.
Click to expand...

Boot in safe mode (F8) go to Control Panel > Internet Options >
Advanced options tab and disable 'third-party browser extensions.'

Also perform a malware scan using ad-aware and spybot (both free).
Update them before the scan:
Ad-aware

Spybot S&D

If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of

BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm .

It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program.
It is easy to use. Upon the next boot, it will find foreign DLL files,
and give you the ability to disable them.

Hope this helps.
