There are many possible causes for the error message "Explorer caused
and invalid page fault in module Explorer.exe".

The possible presence of an outdated version of Explorer.exe in the
root directory of the hard drive (which is what the KB article you
read is referring to) is just one of these possible causes.

See MVP Jim Eshelman's web page at

that deal with this error message.

Good luck
