That's why I use Win 2k, it let's me decide what's good and bad, and doesn't decide for me, like XP does at time.

Guess that pretty much makes you the man.
More seriously though; DEP is a hardware and software based security system which guards against malicious programs running in given computer's memory. When you receive and error like the one posted, it doesn't mean Explorer got infected, but that it did something it shouldn't have and Windows is afraid it may be infected, so it's shutting it down.
I like to think that XP has character. Makes life a little more interesting every day,

Sorry to contradict you, but I've killed it manually before, and it started automatically after.

hmm, me to.
I tested it by using the pc for over 15 minutes after killing explorer, but it didn't get restarted automatically.
Windows works in mysterious ways

I can only end the process in the processes tab, since it doesn't show up in my application tab.
Only programs like FireFox and such show up in the application tab.
Firewalls and all that is only in the processes tab.

Explorer will show up if it isn't responding, allowing you to end the task.
It depends on what the problem is. The only times my Explorer crashes is with certain video files. When you click on a file, or when you have it set to "Thumbnail" mode, it will read through the file to gather information about it. If the file has something wrong with it, then Explorer crashes in its attempt to read it.
In ALL cases where it's happened to me, it's always been a particular file that's easily identifiable. Either I avoid clicking on it, if it's something I want to keep (choosing instead to load it directly into WMP by File>Open, which causes no problems), or I simply delete the file if it's something I don't really care about. And no, they're not infected files.. my AV would catch them on the way in if that were the case.

I ended explorer.exe and it didn't restart.
