Re: Windows Explorer "Ramesh, MS-MVP" <ramesh[ at ]XOX.mvps.org> 7/11/2007 5:44:33 PM Alex, Most of the crashes are caused by third-party modules (shell extensions, browser helper objects etc). Check the event logs to gather more information about the crash. Click Start, Run and type eventvwr.msc Select Application entry in the left pane In the right-pane, look for the Error entry denoted by a Red X Sort by date and track down the entry, based on the time when the problem occurred. Locate and double-click the entry and you'll see more information in the resulting dialog. Click the copy button at the top and copy the whole event and paste it to a Notepad document and save it. Post the information here.
