My granddaughter receives this message: Windows Explorer has stopped working. Has anyone here had this problem and if so I would appreciate any help you could give. I do not have Win7 and can offer her no help.

If it is an ongoing message, that is constantly appearing there is a program problem. If it pops up occasionally then it just means something has hung up the program so it can't run any more. Usually closing the program in this case resets things so the program can once again run.
If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.

This is an ongoing problem and closing the program does not help, the message is constant.

What has she done to try to fix this, kazzmo? It would help if you could pass on that info.
The first thing I'd do is reboot the computer. If that didn't work, I'd try a System Restore to a time when she knows Windows Explorer was working. I'm not very tech savvy but each of those things has resolved problems for me.

When I first read this I thought you said internet explorer was crashing. Do you know if the crash is caused when she right-clicks to bring up the context-menu? If so it could be one of the shell extensions causing this. I had this problem years ago on Vista, it was infuriating. She can try a program like ShellExView which will allow her to view what extensions she has installed and enable/disable them to find out which one is the problem. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
