206. Windows 7 - Windows Explorer crashes going to CP

Another unresolved problem with Windows 7 (on my new DELL at least) happens the first time you go to the Control Panel via Start, Control Panel, and then select Uninstall Programs. When this is done, Windows Explorer gets into a loop and you have to close the Control Panel window to get an option to CLOSE the Windows Explorer program. Windows 7 then recovers and you can get back into the Control Panel and do you stuff without a problem.

But, can you avoid this inconvenience entirely? I have by doing the following: Right-click a blank area on the Task Bar. Right-click Properties. Select the Start Menu tab. Select Customize and for Control Panel check Display As Menu. Now when you go to Control Panel on the Start Menu you will avoid the new interface "link" screen and get a popup menu of all the Control Panel options. Plus, you avoid the Windows Explorer problem.

If you search for a permanent fix and find one, please punch in a comment to this Post. I tried most of the suggestions, particularly ones suggesting that a .cpl file is corrupt or hard disk error.
