This is a temporary fix. The problem is still there. Your Windows Explorer will not crash as much but it will still crash especially on 64 bit systems. Run a Google search and you will see for yourself. The only reason it doesn't crash as much after this fix, which was by the way provided by someone named Ryan on the W7Starters list months ago is because most of you are running basic searches and because these crashes are random. Please understand this as many on these list seem to have issues with basic comprehension and continue perpetuating false information as they think reading these fixes on these lists makes it law. These crashes will still happen. You only believe this problem is fixed because of the random nature. For whatever reason these explorer crashes do not happen if you use the start menu search.

There's probably a quicker way to do this, but when I did this my problem was solved.
