Hello,

I, like many other vista users, have been recently experiencing
explorer.exe crashes. I've done research and its everywhere, even on
this forum, but there doesn't seem to be a full definite answer as to
why explorer.exe crashes intermittently or when running control panel.
Well I was browsing through proc monitor and I decided to search
"unsecapp.exe" the program that associates with the WMI callback, and
under dependencies it listed all the .dll's shown in my appcompat.txt
file I was looking at for the crash of explorer. And if memory serves me
right, I've been ending that process on boot up manually (I didn't see a
reason for it to be running), it seems everytime I do that explorer.exe
ends itself and restarts. So my proposed theory is that maybe somehow,
unsecapp.exe is causing the problem. It's very odd that a problem like
that can affect so many machines in almost -exactly- the same manner.
Hopefully this adds another link to our mission of solving this,
mystery.

You're a moron.

That's a clue that you shouldn't be doing that.

unsecapp.exe has been running on my system forever... no explorer
crashes.

It runs on EVERYBODY'S computer.

Collaborating on my previous post, I ran ShellExtView and I found a few
Glary Utilities Shell exts, which I believe for file encryption with
that programs' encryption. I disabled that with a few others, mainly
spyware and optimization applications. I'm trying to find a logical
solution as to why this is affecting such a broad range of machines.

It takes more than one to "collaborate" ;-)

Perhaps you meant "elaborating"?

Update:

Now when I open my desktop folder "tools" and right click in any blank
area, it ends explorer. So somewhere I have a bed Shellext causing
compatibility issues... Back to work. lol :geek:
