have you scanned for spyware? My windows explorer has been throwing more errors lately - seems about every other time I open it, after it is open a while, I'll get one of those error things - do I want to send the report to microsoft and windows explorer will close down. I never open my recycling bin - so I can try that and see if it closes windows explorer...nope - didn't do anything.... always wonder if they did something to it in an update !

Open the recycle bin, boom! explorer restarts. Sometimes it's closing a folder or just doing nothing. Have scanned for viruses and trojans, both results are negative. No further info at Microsoft and have exhausted my brain on Google looking for answers.
