Test is OK on fully updated Win 7

Both Classic Shell 4.31 and Open Shell 44.194 work fine.

Even hid taskbar and start button images in a different folder,
to see if old locations crash after exiting and the restarting Classic/Open Shell.
Also removed comma from horizontal/vertical stretching of customized taskbar.

No crashes.
XBox on Win7

Please, make sure you have updated your Win7.
Also use latest Open-Shell 4.4.194 .

If you are still experiencing Explorer crashes, then please provide crash dump obtained using this guide.
