Hello,

Everytime I close a Windows Explorer window, the taskbar disappears along
with the desktop and appears again. Did anyone experience this?

Yes this is called the shell is failing. The shell (explorer.exe) is
starting up again after it fails. This failure can happen for a number of
reasons. One installed codecs can cause this. It could also be caused by a
"hook" which is a 3rd party application which gives you more options in
context menus when certain file types are selected and right-clicked. What
exactly is the cause is not so easy to zero in on but these that I described
are the most usual conditions. Normally when this starts to happen with
regularity it is less time consuming re-installing the operating system then
finding the specific trouble.
