Thanks for the humble curiosity. I realize a clean system does not
have the crashes, but it's not like Windows Explorer is being closed
by malware. Would it bother to report the crash if that were the
case? I would expect it to handle itself a little better given all
the security and UAC. Not to mention I've heard this complaint in
several forums about several different systems. I've tried clearing
out malware several times. It would be nice to do a repair install
off a disc. Of course PCs don't come with discs any more - just
recovery partitions - and any attempt to repair install using an OEM
disc will invalidate my ASUS Vista activation key.
Eek and now I find that the search context menu has been taken out? I
see forums that confirm it. Unacceptable :-( Sorry, but I'm backing
out SP1.
Thanks for monitoring the feedback though.
