Yes, my explorer.exe worked at one point, but I cannot pinpoint when it stopped working properly. I agree with you that some files (notably .DLL files) may have been corrupted, but somehow none of these files is detected by sfc /scannow. Unfortunately, I did not have System Restore enabled.

My XP Windows Explorer (EXPLORER.EXE) freezes whenever I click on any one of the folders (e.g. "My Documents") on the left panel. No viruses, worms, adware, or other malicious codes detected. Latest SP2 installed. Tried Repair from CD and sfc /scannow, but no luck. Google turns up unrelated links. PS: Similar freeze is also observed whenever I click in Control Panel with Modern View. I managed to work around this problem by putting Control Panel in Classical View mode. Not sure if the two issues are related. Please shed me some light, I'm desparate!!!
