Just wondering...could shdocvw.dll have anything at all to do with the issue also? (Probably not since doing the browseui.dll and browselc.dll swap "fixes" the problem?)

I have one more quirk, although I'm not sure it has to do with Windows Explorer. When you start up the computer, go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel IMMEDIATELY afer Windows loads, i.e. as soon as you can. You'll experience a delay of a couple of seconds before the control panel comes up. I've seen this on all Windows 98 SE machines I've dealt with. But arguably it's a very small problem, especially when compared to the other thing we're discussing!

The latest version of IE 5.5 SP2 browseui.dll is found in the MS05-014 patch for Windows Me, KB867282.
