I had the same problem. Couldn't get rid of it for almost 2 days before I
came to this site. I was able to stop it from it's pychotic episode by going
into safe mode. To do this, press F8 at start up, that will take you to the
Advanced Boot Operations Menu. There you will be able to see several
different safe modes listed.
In Safe Mode you can access certain essential configuration tools, including
Device Manager, System Restore and Registry Editor. All local Help And
Support features are available; if you choose the Safe Mode With Networking
option, you'll have access to online help as well.
After I entered safe mode, I accessed System Restore and returned my
computer to a previous restore point. It took two attempts before my computer
was working properly. Also, afterwards I had to reconfigure all of my
personal settings again but that was all, everything else was back to normal.
I havn't experienced anything wrong with Vista or any other operation on my
computer since, and I'm enjoying the Vista Experience immensely. However I
still do not know WHY?, Windows Explorer went crazy. Although if I had as
many tasks to do as it does, I would go crazy too. Try it. You cannot do any
damage. It worked for me, and I'm just brand new at owning and operating a
personal computer.
