I'm lost...
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
My Pc is up to date(windows updates) and I've used Winutilities to scan my registry.
My explorer.exe keeps on crashing. Just randomly it seems.
I don't even need to be doing anything particular.
I do have experience with pc in general as I'm a software developer.
I know you will require additional info, but i don't know what, so just leave a comment and I'll update.
Additional info
I think i should also mention that explorer is the only app that crashes on my pc.
The crash report i got now:

Running scf /scannow
returns: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations
so no probs there
I finally ended up formatting..
Answer
It seems to me that Winutilities is the culprit,
And during some cleaning it may have cleared a registry entry and messed with explorer :S
Usually Explorer.exe is a bad to repair so:
1-If you can, restore registry entries from Winutilities usually these applications keep a backup somewhere.
2-Check system file Repair Windows 7 System Files with System File Checker
3-If this is not working you can try Through System Recovery Options at Boot from your Original Windows 7 Disk or any Windows 7 64bit Recovery Disk.
4-If this is not working and you want to keep your Settings,account,Appdata
you can try a Windows 7 installation repair
ThatÅ› the best you can do before clean re-formatting
