Explorer.exe has generated errors
Posted by Vaughan on September 5th, 2003


Explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows.....
This message often appears when using Windows Explorer. My
OS is Win2k Pro, SR4.
Is there a fix for this please?

There are tons of Explorer.exe errors. I would suggest
that you type the exact error message into the search
window at http://www.google.com/. I was getting an
Explorer.exe message not long ago and after scanning with
Adaware and removing objects that it found, the error
message stopped. I don't know if your message is being
caused by having unwanted junk on your computer but it may
be worth a shot. Adaware (there's a free version) can be
found here http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Make sure you
use "webupdate" before you scan to make sure you have the
latest ref file because they are updated frequently. Here
is how to do a "full scan"

Their forums are here http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/
if you have any questions.
