I have been having this problem for some months now, and I do see that others have had *almost* the same problem, but only occasionally. I can't seem to get anywhere with the solutions on the other threads, either. But any time I right click on anything on my desktop or in the Windows explorer, explorer immediately stops working and has to restart itself. While I have found a few ways to get around it, I really would like to get it fixed completely.
Explorer.exe crashing on ANY right-click

If I'm reading it correctly in the Event Viewer, I'm apparently running version 6.0.6002.18005 Where do I update that, from Microsoft's website?

Bottom left go for IE9
Internet Explorer downloads - Microsoft Windows
I bet that is the problem. Your IE is older than the hills and has many security flaws that can cause you big problmes

No no, not Internet Explorer. I haven't used that for years anyway. I'm talking about Windows Explorer.

I have just read your first post, again and aplogize.
Lets see if we can limit the cause to only one.
Do you have any problems in safe mode?

Hello there,
Most of the times the Explorer crashes due a bad or corrupt Context Menu the best way to troubleshoot is to download the ShellExView is an excellent tool to view and manage all installed shell extensions. The rule is to disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers *one-by-one* and verify if the problem is solved. If disabling one does not solve the problem, undo the disabled item and disable the next non-Microsoft handler. Do the same until the problem is solved and finally identify the culprit. Scroll right to see the Company Name column in ShellExView.
Regards,
Captain
