Default Windows explorer stopped working

Windows explorer has just stopped functioning, that includes all functions
related including the likes of My Computer, Network Connections etc.The
problem first showed when IE stopped working. Other non-windows related
progs are working fine.
I have:
Used system restore
Reinstalled Win XP
Has anyone got any ideas please - besides HD format and reinstalling XP!

Try this, go to Control Panel Internet Options Advanced options
tab, and check 'disable third-party browser extensions.'

Good luck
