Hi i was wondering if anyone can help with a problem i'm having. I am unable
to open a lot of things on my computer. For example when i try and open My
Documents, i get the error message:

"Explorer has caused an error in SHLWAPI.DLL, Explorer will now close. If
you continue to experience problems try restarting your computer"

Ihave tried restarting my computer many times but it just doesnt resolve it.
I get an error message when trying to open anything. My Documents, My
Computer, anything. Its really annoying me. So if anyone has any ideas as to
how to sort this it would be much appreciated.

James,

Try repairing IE:

Add/Remove Programs > highlight Microsoft Internet Explorer > click =
Add/Remove > Select Repair > Next > OK.

Reboot and test.
