He mentioned that Hijackthis would probably not help as it looked like it had more to do with Internet Explorer than WINDOWS EXPLORER. He suggested that I go into Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types/ Finding the appropriate offending Folder entry and changing its default action using the Advanced button.

So I selected "File Folder" and found that the action was set to "find". I then added "explore" to the Action and set that with C:\Windows\explorer.exe as the application to perform the action. Bingo. Problem fixed.
