Hm. It seems like you have a bogus shell extension installed. What
software did you install before this started happening?

That fault data from the Event Viewer is generally inferior to the data
found in the Problem Reports and Solutions Center control panel -
specifically the fault bucket number you get after Checking for Solutions
can be a great help in diagnostics. But regardless the data so far is a
little generic. If you get this crash again, the fault bucket number for
that crash might be interesting, but it may take inspection of an actual
crash DMP file from a crash to identify the probably culprit.

Again no answer why Windows Explorer constantly crashes, just more
attempts to blame third part software. You're a broken record Zach.

Here's a hint to point you in the right direction. Vista is the
operating system. It is suppose to CONTROL what other hardware and
software are doing. We've been told that under Vista everything is
suppose to be running in it's own protected memory space so one
application doing something bad, real or imagined WON'T crash another.
Strange that anytime there is a little burp the response always seems
to be the same ===> Windows "needs to shut down". Therefore it clearly
it isn't that big a leap to come to the conclusion it is WINDOWS that
is broke and not doing it's job properly.

The parallels in the real world are many. These days if a car starts
to go into a skid, a computer chip takes control helping the driver to
recover. If there is a power spike on the line, the power supply or a
UPS filer it out. If it rains hard and water enters your sump, it gets
pumped out. No user interaction required, no interruption of service.
No flashing neon sign saying it can't or won't.

When Windows detects something it doesn't like, what happens?

It crashes or complains and says it needs to shut something down. Tens
of millions of lines of code in Vista and Windows isn't smart enough
to handle them without freaking out. Pathetic and a sure sign of poor
design, sloppy, bloated programming that simply doesn't work very
well.

The question shouldn't be what third party something caused Vista to
shut down Explorer, but WHY Vista needs to shutdown Explorer since it
is part of the shell and should have been written well enough and
protected so it is bullet proof.
