Thanks for the information about the registry key. I looked it up, and it looks like it can be quite useful and dangerous at the same time.

If I encounter an explorer issue in the future, I’ll have a look at that registry key.

I achieved at least a temporary fix (a few minutes ago) by deleting a bad registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\Current Version\Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe

Hope you find this useful.
