Exclude Expolder from the WB program settings panel and use Weblinds if you must skin the damn thing. 
Better still, use Opera of Phoenix!

You probably have "Common Names" running in the background. This is installed, sometimes without the user knowing, be several little proggies. Check the control panel>add/remove software.
Also Immersion Desktop software will do this.

yea i have that common names on my computer and the damn thing won't uninstall, when i try to remove it, it just takes me to the site and it says insert this number and it will uninstall. well, when i do that the page says "Uninstalling CommonName...Please stand by" well 10 minutes later still nothing. I tried removing it from the program files directory but it won't delete because the damn file is in use, what the hell should i do??

boot into safe mode this will prevent the common names from loading. It is neccisary to edit the run registry key and remove the reference to common names then delete the common names directory. reboot done. then send the common names company a scathing email.

scathing e-mail, yeah, no kidding. That really shouldn't be legal to hook that stupid program in there so tight.
