Hi Brian,
I can't repro this problem the way you describe, and have had no trouble
using search (regardless of where I initiate it from). There is a known bug
where if you hold down the WinKey+e, it will start a cascading stream of
explorer windows that is difficult to stop. I haven't seen it written into a
KB yet, nor is there a fix for this bug yet.
