I have finally partially figured it out. Here is how to get rid of it. Start---> programs----> Accessories---> system tools-----> system restore. Restore it for few days before you start getting that error. This eliminated the problem completly for me but "Internte Explorer" is not working. The good news is Mozilla Firefox is working perfecly.

I have been searching the web for a long time, hoping that someone will soon post a cure but it has not happened. I am going back to 32 bits. I haven't figured out the cause of this problem. Maybe its just one non 64 bit program that i am running or something else but trust me that I have tried everything on this page + clean boot and ALL other remedies suggested online but nothing has worked. PS. 32 bit was a lot faster and non lagging then 64bit + it has a folder locker, windows explorer crash never occurred on it and i don't have to search for special 64bit drivers and programs...which are hard to find (like drivers for epson printer)....So i am done finding a cure for this shit.

It found one bad key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoActiveDesktopChanges i have deleted it successfully and am NOT sure YET if it fixed the problem. I will let you guys know. For me the windows explorer stops working when i right click or open any folders...only after my computer has been running for few hours. It doesn't happen for few hours after a fresh restart or login. so i will know at the end of the day if deleting this one key fixed the problem or not.

Yesterday I started to get the dreaded "Windows Explorer has stopped working" message. After reading about how common it has become on the web I tried the solution from 4vip.ro where you run sfc/scannow. So far, so good. No problems have yet resurfaced.
