Answer 1

explorer is basically what windows uses to run... get worried when iexplorer does that.

if you turn off the explorer.exe  it will reload. and depending what is running it may require a restart.

Answer 2

not sure but i would definitely delete any cookies and such in the tools. otherwise perhaps you could repair windows with the set up- boot disc. i'm curious how much ram and proc speed you have too.
