Windows bug o' the day

Don't try this at home: select a bunch of folders in Explorer and select "Search...". Rather than bringing up a search window that searches the folders, it will slowly bring up a bunch of the buggers (one per folder) and then, in my case, crash hard.

BTW: one of the most irritating things about explorer.exe crashing is that many taskbar icons vanish when it restarts. Fascinatingly, although MS provides an API for apps to use to restore icons on a crash, MS's own Task Manager doesn't actually implement it.
