Mac users can skip this one.
There have been scattered reports in the InDesign Windows User to User forums from of CS3 crashing when opening files from either Bridge or Explorer. Apparently the folks at Adobe have found a workaround but not an exact cause or fix.
As explained in this TechNote article, the workaround, besides not opening files that way, is to make sure that your links panel is not active when opening the file. I’ve never experienced this problem myself and I open a lot of files from Bridge but if you’re among those suffering from this you might consider a new workspace without the links panel.
According to the TechNote, Adobe is working on a fix.
