This type of crash is nearly always caused by a bad "shell extension" module. Think
about what software might have been installed recently, particularly if it installed
a new right-click context menu item. Download ShellExView
which will list all the shell extensions and allow you to disable them for testing
purposes. Try disabling all non-Microsoft extensions first, check that the problem
has gone away (which is likely) and then start adding them back one by one, until
the problem reappears. You will then have found the culprit! Hope this helps. Cheers.
Spexx.
