Any ideas on how I can even see what explorer extensions are installed? When I did a google search, I wasn't finding many ideas for solving it, just simply many people having problems with it coming up as a task to end when shutting down.

I guess if I can't find much, it will be time to test my Windows XP SP1+Security slipstream CD. I'm just discusted that I can't even keep an install of Windows XP purley for games up for more then 8-9 months with out it degrading.
