I am unable to open folders on the root directory in
Windows Explorer. Each time I attempt to open subfolders
I receive the error message that Explorer has caused and
error in SHELL32.DLL and will close explorer.

I have scanned for viruses with Norton AV 2004, no
identified problems.

I have copied Shell32.DLL folder and Explorer.exe folder
from my system's driver recovery CD to my program files to
replace those folders. No change.

I attempted to do a System Restore but was unable due to
no restore points prior to problem.

Any ideas?...Thanks

You may have checked for viruses but what about other malware such as
commercial parasites?

This might be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free
Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and
also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them
to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are
only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a
program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that
checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp.
