Wierd grey screen problem

I have a very wierd problem with XP that I can't seem to find any info on. Sometimes when directing explorer to a web page my entire desktop will go grey and a folder task will appear in the task bar with no title. Clicking on the folder causes the ENTIRE screen to go grey (even the task bar). Alt-F4ing kills the grey screen.

This never happens at clean install but manifests itself after a few weeks or operations and mostly first time you launch IE from cold boot.

Any ideas?
