Steve - Dr Watson is not intended for "local" diagnosis - the file is for
interepation by Microsoft support - "Symbols" provide support personnel with
information regarding the file. Diagnosis procedures and symbol tables can
be downloaded (usually from the MSDN or TechNet sites) however expertise is
required.

Failure of Explorer.exe (Windows Explorer) is often due to malware.

Even empty folders (or subdirectories) have names ...

Your use of "Registry Mechanic" may have caused or exacerbated the
problem. "If you think your Registry needs to be 'cleaned' or
'repaired,' read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your
own conclusions."

You could try disabling Roxio Media Manager from scanning files; or
running MalwareBytes AntiMalware from http://malwarebytes.org/
but you also might follow this advice from MVP PA Bear:

*****************************************
1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwa ... fault.mspx

2. Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan (only!) in
Safe Mode with Networking, if need be:
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting the
requested logs in an appropriate forum, not here.

Checking for/Help with Hijackware

http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/tshoot.html
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Malware_Defence.htm

**Seek expert assistance in
http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachines ... board=10.0,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
