Explorer.exe hangs once when you first open it

When I boot up this laptop and open any folder/driver, explorer.exe
just sits there with a blank window. Clicking it causes windows to say
it has stopped responding. When I restart it everything is fine, the
problem does not repeat until the next reboot.

I have done some googles without luck. I disabled DEP. I'm ready to
reinstall soon unless anyone has a suggestion as to why this is
happening? Below is the dump from the crash:

Sure.
Go with your gut, reinstall.

Backup your data, and if you want, get any drivers you may need and put them
on a thumb drive.

You can fiddle around for days trying to fix it...or just reinstall and in 3
hours be done with it.
Maybe less than 3 hours if you don't have much installed.

Oh jeez...that stupid avast is scanning text messages!?!
Can't wait until my regular AV supports Windows 7.
