Check what shell extensions you have loaded using a utility like http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

 

If there are any you don't recognise and are comfortable disabling, try disabling them. Explorer crashes are almost always caused by shell extensions installed by badly designed programs. Sometimes they are not removed properly when you uninstall programs, and sometimes they are flat-out buggy.

 

If you aren't comfortable disabling them, run it and post here what ones are loaded and folk can point out some that look like they might be an issue.

If you want to make things easy on yourself,

I'm pretty sure this is one of the things that Ccleaner can fix automatically.
