Windows Explorer will not open

All of a sudden I can no longer open Windows Explorer. Regardless of how I attempt to open it:

Right click Start/Explore
Double click short cut
Windows button/E

Nothing. The only thing that does happen is that the task bar flashes off then back on. Explorer.exe IS running in task manager. When I boot in safe mode I have no trouble getting into explorer which leads me to believe that it is something running in the background. I have also run Norton and Webroot spysweeper in safe mode but nothing really shows up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks !!!

Hi PackFan,

Please download HijackThis. Make sure you install HijackThis to a permanent folder such as C:\HJT as it creates backups of what we will fix. Run the program, press Scan, after a brief pause... press Save log. Notepad will open, copy and paste the entire log into your post. Do not fix anything yet, most of what's in the log is needed!
