Windows 7 Professional Explorer crashes due to your context menu shell extension

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Right clicking the "All Programs" button in the start menu results in
Explorer crashing.  I disabled the StExBar context menu shell extension
(using ShellExView) and all the problems went away.

Explorer also sometimes crashed when using the file menu (in Explorer)... I
haven't noticed a pattern for this one yet.  I haven't seen it since
disabling the context menu shell extension, but I can't say that it is gone
yet.

INFO:

StExBar 1.70 on a relatively clean install of Windows 7 Professional (I've
installed other things like Firefox... but not much else yet).

I'm currently setting up two different computers (a D610 laptop and a
custom-built desktop), so it shouldn't be a hardware issue.  The problem
occurs on both computer.

This same problem also occurred on both computers when they were running
Windows 7 RC.  But at that time, I assumed it was due to another problem.

If I remember correctly, the latest version I've gotten to work correctly
(back when I was running RC) is 1.5.1.

Oops, forgot to mention:  disabling "Show commands in context menu" is the way 
I got
around the problem.  (ShellExView was just how I found the source of the 
problem)
