This is quite normal for Windows - Explorer crashes. You get everything back if you run explorer.exe again.

Can you see a pattern to this problem? There doesn't seem to be any obvious spyware on your computer but there may be other reasons to it.

Yes you hit CTRL ALT DEL, then go to File>>New Task (Run...) Then just type in explorer.exe
