Windows Explorer has stopped working

[quartet1977]

Hi, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium edition. Earlier today, a new
problem started to occur. Each time I close a folder, I get a message telling
me that Windows Explorer has stopped working. It then restarts and things
appear fine. I can do everything as normal on the computer, but if I try to
close a folder again, same error message. Any suggestions? Do I need to
provide more info? Thanks in advance!!

My next step would be to run the Recovery screen. My first try would be the
Command Prompt command:

CHKDSK /R
