the solution is to remove the damn thing! IE 7 is full of bugs and has been crashing computers all over the globe. I would use the old version IE 6 till they fix the bugs. you can read about this at  http://www.pcworld.com

Open your registry and go to the key:\n\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;Explorer]\n\nIf  the DWORD "NoFolderOptions" is set to "1", change it and set it to "0" & your problem is solved. If you are not familiar with using the registry, please do not try this without notifying your computer administrator. Any mistakes could leave you stranded.\n\nFeel free to IM me for further details.

Any chance your file extension association for the icon got remapped to SnagIt?

Try this:\nMake sure when you go into the mouse properties that when you check the 'Snap To' option, don't just click the red X close button.  Make sure you select 'OK' to set the command, then immediately restart.  This is the only think I can think of.  If its still happening, you may want to report it to Windows.  Hopefully this helps!

Goto your control panel and add/remove programs. Find windows desktop search in the list and uninstall it.\n\nThat should do the trick. Windows desktop search is horribly intrusive, and horribly resource intensive as it indexes pretty much constantly.

Right click on a clear spot on your desktop and choose properties. Then click the "desktop" tab. In the list below note which option is highlighted. If it is a screensaver program or "Internet Explorer Wallpaper" choose "None" from the top of the list and then select a background color from the right lower corner. Select apply, then OK and close the desktop properties. Reboot. It should work correctly now. If it doesn't, you may not have administrator priveleges. Also, you can have this occur if you have a different background chosen in the administrative profile, and then you are using a different profile. To correct this, reboot, hit f8 until you get the option to choose "Safe Mode", choose the "Administrator" account, then follow the directions above to set the administrator account desktop picture to a plain screen color. After rebooting you should be able to get rid of the problem and have your chosen desktop come up each time you boot up.

If you're internet explorer is not responding it's best to shut down IE by holding the ctrl-alt-delete keys down, choosing task manager and then ending the non responsive program.\n\nThe Yahoo! toolbar can't stop internet explorer crashing as    this is usually down to bad coding from Microsoft engineers, rather than anything under the toolbar's control.\n\nIf you're having lots of trouble with Internet Explorer try a different browser, such as Firefox (link below). The Yahoo! toolbar is also available for firefox, so you can still keep on using this if you change browser.

First of all explorer.exe is not internet explorer for all the confused people. explorer.exe is the what is used to click start show the taskbar. If you end the process you notice you cant do anything, so i recommend clicking start, mycomputer, then right click the c drive and click properties, then tools, then check now on error-checking, if it does find a problem with explorer.exe it will fix itself. :)
