With LiteStep you can use your computer normally, so you can run scan programs or try to run explorer.exe, reinstall it copying from another windows version....

Have you tried to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and clicking New > Explorer.exe to see if it loads up?

multimillion2k: no I haven't tried this yet as I thought there might be a simpler solution. I shall do it if nothing works (will I need to back up any files?)

Matty: OK I shall try that and if that doesn't work do a system restore.

mwe99: Yep I have tried that as mentioned in my original post

Use Windows Task Manager to first end any copies of explorer.exe already running, then start a new one. Click the heading process name to order them.

There are no instances of explorer running in the first place so I can't terminate the process. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.


Anyway guys, I have resolved this issue by simply performing a system restore. It wasn't as painful as I had imagined and everything is working fine again.

Thanks all for your time and responses.
