    This one is starting to interfere with my work. Whenever I right click on an explorer folder in Windows XP I get this "Explorer.EXE Application error." The cause according to the Dr. Watson logs is svchost.exe causing an access violation. I use the Unlocker Assistant to help force delete files and now that I can't right click, the application is useless. I'm going to attach two files. One is the dialog app crash box after I made a right click and the other is the Dr. Watson log that was generated. Both will be inside a zip archive. I'm really hoping someone can assist me on this.

    Nevermind, I found out what was causing the explorer.exe crash. I had installed Bitdefender 2012 and the drivers were causing svchost.exe to create an access violation everytime I right clicked on folders that had Bitdefender integrated in the context menu. This thread can be closed but I prefer it to remain on the boards for those who might run into the same problem I had. When I uninstalled Bitdefender the problem went away.
