Original title: Explorer.exe corrupted?Alright, so I've had this problem for a couple of months currently and I have tried restoring explorer.exe via the Windows XP CD.For some reason, whenever I right click on a folder, try to copy/move/delete a folder, or try to move something to a folder Explorer.exe crashes. I've looked thoroughly for viruses, cleaned out my system, and it still happens.I'm pretty sure it's just a corrupted piece of data in the Explorer.exe file.Is there anyway I can get a working version of Explorer.exe?I run Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. Any help would be appreciated! :D
