Default Windows Explorer Crashing after LW fix

I was having the problem where the new LW kept opening itself,so I used the fix posted in the MAJOR TOPICS for general windows issues post.Since then I am not able to go into my documents without windows explorer and sometimes dr watson crashing and freezing.If anyone has any idea how I can fix this I would appreciate it alot.I am running windows xp with SP2 and had no trouble before downloading the newest version of limewire and running that fix.

There's a file still in your shared folder that is corrupted, hence docs and setts crashing...
I have had this problem myself before...

Can you remember what it was that you last downloaded before all the problems started....
If you can, you can either delete the file from your Limewire Library or do a computer search for the file and delete it from there...

(it was usually a movie file that caused this to happen to me)

I tried to delete the files but I get an error deleting file or folder message that says Cannot delete CAEB5A3A.:cannot find specific file.It takes me like 4-5 attempts to make it that deep into windows explorer without freezing.Also did it set off your active desktop recovery when you encountered this problem?I mean my internet explorer works fine,but windows explorer is being impossible.I am hoping I do not have to wipe and start over to fix this,but I am having trouble fixing this problem.I am not very computer savvy unfortunately.Also since I have been having this problem,every time I go to shut off my computer a program called WindowsFormsParkingWindows is making me end program to log off.I never had this problem before I downloaded the newer free version of limewire and had to do the fix mentioned on the main topic post for fixing the LW opening itself up all the time.

I haven't had that deeper problem...I think you should go to one of these sites and post a Hijack this log and see what they say, especially since you have had a virus as well...
SpywareInfo Forum FAQ - SWI Forums
Bleeping Computer - Computer Help and Discussion

Sorry I can't be of more help...
