    Do you remember exactly when this started? What were you doing immediately prior to that? Did you install something? Remove something? Have you done a thorough virus scan?

    Havent been installing anything for a while.. no viruses either.. the problem comes (explorer keeps crashing at right clicks, opening and closing folders and by itself) and goes.. ive been looking at the logs too and theres no error pattern in any program..
