Assignment of a custom .ico to a folder in the FLB toolbar caused the crash.
Normally, you choose an icon out of a .dll or .exe. (Actually you define a reference to the n-th icon inside the .dll/.exe)
I made an .ico icon file from a screenshot with IrfanView. Then I dared to assign this .ico to a folder.
Steps to reproduce:
- create a new "menu" (actually a folder in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\quick Launch) in the FLB toolbar
- right click on the new folder, go to Appearance -> Change Icon
- assign it the evil icon attached to this post
- reboot and watch explorer crash right after login
(My guess about the problem is that FLB tries to load icon ressource 0 from the .ico despite the .ico is the icon itself. But I'm not too sure about this, because starting FLB at a later moment works.)
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
