As an update, since getting rid of the network shortcuts I've had no more UAC prompts or explorer crashes.
Hmm I believe the game that changed my resolution also temporarily switched me from Aero to classic mode.
jjbjolicoeur, just curious, do you by chance have any shortcuts on your desktop to network shared folders? I noticed that I started getting more explorer lockups when I tried to move a network folder. At the time I wasn't signed into my company's VPN so those folders wouldn't be accessible (though I wasn't trying to open them). I signed into VPN and it seemed like the problems went away.

Excellent point, jjbjolicoeur ! I didn't realize that, nor did I think that giving Fences admin privileges could be causing any problems.

But when I played a videogame that changed my resolution, exiting out of it again caused my desktop (explorer.exe) to crash and restart constantly. Only disabling Fences stopped the cycle. I tried running Fences with admin privileges but that caused Fences to CONSTANTLY pop UAC prompts asking me to allow it to change my system. Even with Fences disabled, or when the resolution
