error message "Windows Explorer has stopped working"

For some reason whenever I right click something, e.g. to create a short
cut, to unzip a file, etc.I now get a message "Windows explorer has stopped
working" with the usual message about check for solution and restarting.

I had not installed any new program, Norton does not show any spyware,
virus. I checked the Microsoft knowledge base and discovered this is a very
commonly reported issue, but have been unable to find a solution., that
works.

Does anyone know of a solution?

Running Vista Home Premium with SP1 installed

You have an active thread about this subject already going on. In fact, I
just finished answering your last post. Please go back to that thread and
continue there so the information is not fragmented and people don't waste
time repeating things that are said in more than one thread.
