You have it. And I looked again... the ONE that I said was only
traceable to explorer was actually an IE crash, so I have NO crashes
with explorer alone. None. Nada.

I know that explorer crashed a few times before I got SP1, but it has not
since. What will turning off protected mode do for me? I turned off UAC if
that is what you meant by running it as an administrator. When I did that the
computer blocked everything but the battery icon, and clock; even though I
got my network icon to work before I turned off the UAC. Now that I turned
the UAC back on, I have no power meter icon, and my Z order is giving me
issues again. This is getting extremely disturbing. I want to be polite, but
I need real help so please do not chat on my post any more. It makes finding
any real help extremely difficult.

Where, oh WHERE has SS gone!?

I sent him the file attached to an email that proved my claim of
having only two crashes (actually, freezes) involving Win Explorer
(and several other programs at the same time - so it would be
difficult to blame it on Win Explorer), and haven't heard boo from him
since. He posted twice in other threads today, but nothing here.

I'm waiting for his apology for calling me a liar (I had a simple
explanation for his earlier claim that I was a liar: it was a mistake
on my part).
