Is this windows xp? if there are any video files in the computer you might want to do the following. This fixed my explorer crashing problems. Even if there are no video files in the folders you try to open, you can never rule it out as the cause of the problem.

Description: When opening folders with movie files in them, windows explorer (the desktop) crashes.

Problem: This is a known issue with Windows XP's video thumbnail thing in Explorer. Being a thing invented by MS, it's buggy and doesn't always know how to handle things not supported by MS, and occasionally fails on things it does know how to support too. Every now and again it will crash and take Explorer down with it. Easy to solve thankfully.
Solution: Windows XP:

* Go to Start -> Run... and type regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll

Press enter. Done. It's as simple as that. If you, for some reason want it back, simply do the same thing again, but remove the "/u". That is: Start -> Run... regsvr32 shmedia.dll

This will only disable movie thumbnails/previews, not picture thumbnails.
