Post a HijackThis log but attach it to your post.

Do spyware scans with Ad-Aware SE, SpyBot, CWShredder.

Do an anti-virus scan with Kaspersky.

Download Dial-A-Fix, select everything and click "Go".

Click Start > Run > type in "eventvwr" without quotations and look under System and Application to see if anything related to explorer.exe occurs recently.

[mikex]

without quotations and look under System and Application to see if anything related to explorer.exe occurs recently.

"Event System" is cause for 90% of the errors and this is apparently the COM+ event system.

[Jeremy]

What?

Control Panel > Administrative Tasks > Event Viewer. Open it.

Click "Application" and "System" and check some of the most recent entries to see if they have anything to do with the explorer.exe process.

[mikex]

yes sorry I done that and "Event system" was probably 90% of the errors.

[cluberti]

I notice you use quite a few explorer.exe shell extensions, and since your stated problems lie entirely in the shell, disabling all shell extensions and startup items that are non-Microsoft and not absolutely necessary to boot up would be a good start - download autoruns and shellexview, disable all non-Microsoft items in both (unless absolutely necessary to boot up, which they shouldn't be, but I've seen it happen), and reboot. See if the problem persists.
