A problem with Explorer reseting XP

[Big Booger]

Just to double check,
open up your administrator tools,
go to event viewer and see if there is any message related to explorer.exe

If there is could you please post that message. Just highlight the text, right click, copy and paste.

If you dont see anything related, I'd say try to reinstall, format full, with a NTFS file partition.

If you still get the same problem after a clean install, then you might have a corrupt or damaged XP disk, although this is highly unlikely.

FURTHER:

Right click my computer,
click properties,
Advanced tab,
Error Reporting button,
enable error reporting,
make sure both boxes below the enable are checked.
Restart.
Run Explorer.exe
See if it refreshes, if so, it should, in theory, providing it generates an error, report that error to a log file. Once you have it
then take a look at the event viewer in the adminstrator tool set.
