So today I came home and did a windows update. I then leave my pc and come back 20 mins to find the explorer process to be gone. So I start it up and think nothing of it. Then a few mins later I open up internet explorer and this then causes explorer to close and start up again but Internet explorer remains open. However when I try opening something like MY computer or Recyle Bin it restarts explorer and closes the window down aswell.

This is really pissing me off!

However if I go into a program like VLC player or Windows Media Player and click open file etc. I can view all the files fine and go to my computer screen etc.

Has anyone else got this? or know how to fix this?

Oh and I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

edit: I have tried System Restore and no luck.

OK....now it works fine. Someone told me to type explorer into new task while explorer was running and somehow magically it works fine.

/close please.
