I have been having the problem of Windows Explorer crashing whenever it was opened, and anything that uses it. I have had the problem on other systems and it seems to be a problem with the indexer. I just unintalled and have not crashed again.
If anyone is having problems with Explorer crashing it might be the thing to try. I will keep the post updated on my progress.
Enjoy the Vista and good luck,

Vista has Indexing issues
PS. Just a note. The indexer that I am refering to is the one that I loading from the windows program options. I don't think that the "Indexing Service" loads by default with Vista.
Is there annother that does load by default that Windows uses?

I think that the Indexing Service is loaded by default but it only indexes the user's files, you can set it to index more by typing index in the start-menu search-box and chooseing Indexing Options.
What the differance between that one and the one in Windwos Features is beyond me.

I think that the optional one indexes more files. I reloaded it as I found that I still had the same problem just less of one. Whenever the indexer is on and I open explorer or a dialoge box in a program it crashes. I will just have to make sure for now that I use the system when it is not indexing. I wish that you could set it to index at certain times. Maybe I can turn the service off until I am not using the system.

For your informational consideration,
I find that if I go to Administrative tools/Services and pause the indexing service until I am not using to system I have a lot better odds on not crashing/restarting. Then before I take a break or retire for the night I resume it.
Seems to be working,
