I have a user that whenever they try to launch Windows Explorer on
their Windows XP computer, a message box that has the title "Error"
and says "Explorer!" appears. After clicking "OK", Windows Explorer
opens.

The message appears regardless of how Explorer is launched. You could
right-click a folder and click "Open" or "Explore", or even type
"explorer.exe" from the run line with the same result.

I tried copying a version of explorer.exe from another computer and
launching it, but it yielded the same results.

This computer was definitely infected with spyware and viruses/trojan
horses at one point, but has since been "cleansed."

I don't know where to begin to look, whether it is a registry problem
or some other dependent dll file (or something like that) might have
been corrupted. I have also searched the web but have not come across
ANY search results so far that could help.

Any suggestions?
 
You sound infected still, at least partially. Try a different cleaner. You need to use more than one.
