Hmm - instead of trying random things in the hope that they fix the problem, I think you should follow the advice of others here in terms of trying to isolate/understand the problem first.
- Perhaps check that explorer.exe isn't crashing when it starts - Perhaps try to see whether the problem occurs on a per-machine or per-user basis (e.g. does the problem follow a user around, does the problem occur for all users on a system etc) Cheers Ken > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe Heaton [mailto:jhea...@etp.ca.gov] > Sent: Wednesday, 24 December 2008 6:52 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Random explorer.exe issue (UNCLASSIFIED) > > No, I haven't.
