I cant help you because I have the same problem. I found
this and IE6 closing on a regular basis after an update
and then a week later there was another update and IE6
fixed but windows explorer still crashed. I looked for
replacements to get me by and found "Litestep" as a
replacement explorer shell and "Enigma Browser" as a
replacment browser and they were both free and better
than the defaults so I am sticking with them.
Enigma can be used as a file and an internet browser at
the same time with tabs for each site and folder, it has
more security filters than IE6,
Give them a go
