Windows Explorer error??

[Rainning]

Hi all I hope someone can help me out here.
I have windows xp pro.

After switching on the computer everything starts up okay
but after a minute or so the following error message
appears:
Windows Explorer has encoutered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
With the following Error Signature:
AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1221 ModName:
Unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000

After closing the error message the Task Bar and
shortcuts vanish for a few seconds but when it comes back, the same message pops up again. I have run avarst (sp) and other spyware and trojan removers, to no avail. Can anyone please help me?
