Whenever I save a file from the net or save a text file using Notepad, the SHELL32.exe component of the EXPLORER.exe shell crashes and throws this error in the Event Viewer.

"Faulting application Explorer.exe, version 6.0.6000.16771, time stamp 0x4907deda, faulting module SHELL32.dll, version 6.0.6000.16774, time stamp 0x4912e93f, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0008e038, process id 0x1b8c, application start time 0x01ca0edab67b8c50."

It happened yesterday and I am getting afraid I will not be able to fix it.

Any help?
