Windows Explorer Closes

[AlanW]

Every time I open 'My Documents", I receive an error message: "Windows
Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close". This happens
2-3 times before it remains open and allows me to open a document. The
problem does not occur if I open windows Explorer via the "All
Programs" route in the start menu.

I have not added any new hardware or software prior to when the
problem started. I ran Norton AntiVirus, Spyware Doctor, and
Spysweeper - all come out ok.

Thanks for any help.

Try moving some of the files in the folder to subfolders, to lower the
overall count of files in the My Documents folder.. could help..
