there is no fix for this problem short of installing a stolen explorrer
from an xp install and running it in xp compatibility super user mode
while disabling the vista explorer.
a non hacker should never even attempt such software Herricy.

it invalidates the user licenses of both operating systems
it isn't even clear if that will fix the problem.
my solution is to stay away from explorer when manipulating
files.:geek:
try using free commander to do most file manipulation
and aqua dock for starting programs
it isn't a fix but an avoidance of the problem allowing you to go
around explorers buggy crashes and keep productivity:sarc:
arty:download these 2 programs and celebrate.
