Yes, it's done it on all versions of Windows for as long as I can remember.
I've read that it is Explorer's fault for not dealing very well with file
systems that aren't 100%. If you open Explorer, do Tools -> Folder Option
and click on the 'View' Tab, you'll find an option you can tick called
'Launch folder windows in a separate process'. The help for this says
'Specifies that each folder is opened in a separate part of memory. When you
open each folder in a separate part of memory, the stability of Windows can
be increased. However, your computer's performance might decrease slightly.'
The result of this is that one Explorer window crashing doesn't kill the
entire system anymore. This is because the first instance of Explorer, which
is responsible for the task bar, can continue running whilst other instances
of Explorer die.
Try putting the same CD in OPT01 and see what happens!
