Repair Windows Explorer Exe

Can I fix this? The pc is rendered useless without the fix or re-install. Can't I just find the infected file, delete it, and then re-establish my explorer.exe file at re-boot from the install disk or the Internet? Question: Where is the explorer.exe file located in the registry? Can this issue be resolved without drastic measures? Please help me. One of the main reasons Windows may freeze relates to Explorer.exe – a process that always runs in the background of any Windows operating system (starting from Windows 95) and is located in C: Windows directory.

Ok this is the case. Yesterday I tried to install theme in unfortunately i didnt make the backup of explorer.exe And the tool i used for Theme Installer for Window. That is available across internet and widely used. I always make the backup of the files which are patched.

Now whenever I try to start windows it says that explorer.exe is not starting. But windows automatically make a backup of Explorer.exe and name something explorer-back.exe. So i renamed the backup explorer to explorer.exe and restarted the windows but it is not working.

Any idea how to solve this issue. Please note Explorer is not running means NO GUI only thing is working is Task Manager and I can run cmd in NORMAL USER MODE /download-latest-windows-photo-viewer.html.
