No explorer.exe?!

All of a sudden, I can't open an explorer window by invoking
explorer.exe. The shortcut in start menu does nothing, nor does typing
"explorer.exe" in from "Run..." or the command line. Even doing c:
\windows\explorer.exe does nothing.

I can still open specific directories by using the directory name in a
shortcut or "start" command. But all the features that you get from
the explorer command line (I'm a particular fan of "/e,/
root,somthing") are now unavailable. Damned nuisance.

I think this started with the latest MS update.

Try system restore, does it help?.
What your Avs security software arrangements on the machine?.
How many accounts on this machine and what happen if you logged with another
account?.
HTH.

maybe you can go through
the task manager.

my suggestion would be to
"end the process" then invoke
it via "new task"

there may be a possibility that
the issue you are having is
indicative of a problem with
your registry.
 
Yep, that fixed it. Thanks!
