I accidentally deleted "explorer.exe" in Windows XP. I can't do a system restore because it was off. How can I retrieve it? I have no start menu, task bar, or desktop icons. I open it manually by: ctrl/alt/delete
 
welcome to PCR

Go to Start, then to Run, and type in "SFC.EXE /SCANNOW" (without the quotes and with a space between the SFC.EXE and the /SCANNOW). Then press Enter.

You will need your XP installation CD. If you don't have one, you'll need to locate a directory on your system that's named "i386" (without the quotes). This directory may be on a hidden partition on your hard drive. If you don't have either, you need a good friend to loan you their CD ;)
