I have been jousting with this for a while now!
Explorer crashes if I try to copy a file or folder or right click to view file or folder properties - bugger!
I use WFE a lot to manage media for Facebook and blogging.
Tried all the usual things including running SFC to check for corrupt system files and finally started investigating shell extensions in particular third party shell extensions - Bingo!
Download ShellExView:
Extract and right-click run as administrator.
Extensions that appear in pink have been installed by third party applications.
You need to disable all of them and restart Explorer to check that it's working OK.
Then one-by-one go through enable only one and restart Explorer.
Repeat to find the shell extension that crashes Explorer.
In my case it turned out to be Format Factory, a file conversion programme.
