When I click on "my computer"/"control panel"/"recycle bin" and a couple of
other items on my desktop, they open for a few seconds, then my screen
reverts to my wallpaper only, immediately followed by return to my desktop.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the problem?

The shell is crashing. See here for the solution:

Can't access Windows Explorer, Control Panel et al.
