MxRobbo Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 i was creating bat files copying and pasting stuff, and i accidentally deleted explorer.exe from the windows folder, and i'm stuck running things out of the task manager, is there any way i can recompile it or something, or does anyone know if i can use someone elses? if so can someone upload it?

hurting101 Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Shouldn't windows file protection restore it? If not, do this. TASK MANAGER > File > Run > iexplore > Type in address bar: %WINDIR%system32dllcache > Explorer.exe should be in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locke Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 boot into safe mode wit command prompt and copy the explorer.exe in dllcache to your windir. this *should* work, if the prob lies in just the explorer.exe being deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
