Rob, I get the same thing! Also after critical updates. I
have a few other things happening also,but yes, I did
a "critical " update also and it seems that is when all
this trouble started. I'm at a loss. I checked my
Virusscan, did System Restore (but I had a problem with
that also). Do you find that if you "restart", ie reboot
that you sometimes can open your Documents and My
Computer? I can, but only sometimes.

After I downloaded a critical update for Windows ME a few
days ago, I began getting the following error
message "Explorer has caused an error in SHLWAPI.DLL.
Explorer will now close." This now occurs every time I
try to click on My Documents, My Computer, or access the
Control Panel from the Start button. Explorer will no
longer open so I can look at my files. I know it's there
because it will still open up from the Explorer bar on
Internet Explorer. IE works fine. Everything works
fine,
except for hot keys linking to Explorer to list files. I
also get an error message similar to the one above but
with SFG012B.DLL when I click on Start, Search for Files
or Folders on my Desktop.

I can access the Control Panel and Recycle Bin via the
Explorer bar on Internet Explorer, but if I try clicking
on the Recycle Bin icon or the Control Panel via the
Start
button, I get the same SHLWAPI.DLL error message.

Any suggestions? This has been extremely disruptive.
