explorer.exe is not a problem, but a genuine program dat renders d OSs shell

wat xactly is happenin? and wat do u do b4 u c dis problem?

NE WAY: if u want 2 restart explorer.exe do this

press Cltr+Alt+Del, select Task Manager
in d window dat opens up, selct d Applications tab, click on New Tasks button
in d win dat opens up, type
Code:
C:\Winnt\explorer.exe
and press enter
u shud get back ur shell

but dis may b just a temp soln
if needed refer 2 event viewer 2 isol8 d problem

u maybe infected, or obviously have corrupt OS. try running sfc /scannow, unless you want to always type in explorer when sys starts up.

Even typing the following command will do
where will u type d command

d guys got no shell to work with, so u will have 2 start all programs thru task mananger

mite as well start explorer.exe thru task manger and sart doing all ur work from inside d shell ;)

ne way as d guy above said ur OS is probably corrupted/infected
u mite wan2 try runnin a gud scan and/or re-install d os
