explorer.exe crashes on right-click in Start menu

Hi, my explorer.exe almost always crashes when I try to right-click something in 
my Start menu. The error report usually looks something like this:

AppName: explorer.exe	 AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512	 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180	 Offset: 0002ae22

Occassionally it also crashes when right-clicking stuff outside of the Start menu, 
in which case different dlls might come up as well, such as shell32.dll or msvbvm60.dll. 
It seems pretty much random as far as I can tell.

I would greatly appreciate any help in fixing this, it's really rather annoying, 
and I don't even know where to start.
