Explorer.exe

[I-Tech]

explorer.exe has stopped working. explorer.exe is restarting. This happens
when ever I right-click on anything in an explorer window or click on
Microsoft Word on my Start menue. I have replaced that shortcut three times.
Anyway, I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. AMD Sempron, ATI Radeon, and
I suspect my graphics driver. Douglas

Issues with right-clicking usually occur because of third-party software
that shoves itself into the context menu. The easiest way to handle this is
with the free ShellExView program:

Information here is applicable to Vista as well as XP:

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace objects -
