Windows XP Home, IE & My User Account

[2b3grna5]

Every so often I have to create a new user account (in Windows XP Home) because when I open Internet Explorer it just crashes. When I create the new user account everything works fine and browse the web without trouble.

Any idea why this is happening? Is there anything I can do to recover my old user account? It's becoming a pain to always move my folders to the new account.


One update. When I use the corrupted user account and try to delete the temporary internet files, I get this error message:

RunDLL: An exception occured while trying to run "Shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL "C:Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl", Internet Options"

Help! Thanks!

System Info:
IE v6
Windows Home XP v2002 SP1
IBM Laptop 600E PII, 128MB RAM

If IE crashes, maybe it would be worthwhile to repair IE, as follows: -

Worth a stab!
