    explorer.exe is the windows GUI and not Internet Explorer per se.

    Are you certain that this problem started precisely with installing IE7?

    If so try a system restore: start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

    A restore should have been created automatically prior to installing IE7.

    Otherwise:

    Is that the full verbatim error message. Is there any mention of shell corruption when you look into the details?

    This error is also often associated with malware.

    When did you download IE7? The final version has been out for 10 days or so.

    If you do have a Beta it can very well be a Beta error.

    If you do have a Beta then upgrade to the Final:
