[Solved] Explorer.exe error

[johnse7en]

Is your graphic drivers Installed? Outdated or corrupt video drivers can cause Windows Explorer to stop working. Downloading and installing the latest video driver can solve many of these issues.

Is your graphic drivers Installed?

Ya .. of course. and latest. :)

Try scan your pc for viruses

Note: first update antivirus then perform a quick scan

[someone there]

Now at least we know that every file in your machine is original so the problem well be in your user profile

you can try to make new user account and see the result

The only way you can get it to work is by uninstalling BetterExplorer - your Explorer.exe actionables have been taken over by BetterExplorer.exe

Open this link of microsoft answers Windows explorer has lost its "file Association" - Microsoft Answers

and then http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fi...for-windows-7/

and downloaded the folder default association and it should work

BetterExplorer has failed to return your Explorer actionables to default - such programs are highly unrecommended (on the whole, I stay away from anything that messes with Explorer.)

Hope you have a backup, in hand - FWIW, Rx Rollback is not a reliable partner in crime (functions with some 'ifs' and 'buts.')

Better Explorer is still beta, the creator offers a Bug-Tracker, i recommend you to submit the issues you have to get a workaround and they maybe can fix it in a new build if it's reproducible..

Find the file extension in question under the

*HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts*

key in the registry. Deleting the sub-key with the same name as the extension you want to un-associate will delete the default program association. You'll have to kill and restart explorer.exe for this to take effect.

sfc/scannow (file system check) should be the first thing to do!

I thought you already did..

anyway..keep it in mind for other issues..

hope it fixes your error..

Have you tried to install betterexplorer and uninstall it again? Or another like xyplorer.

Do you need to click the one that gives the error? If everything else is working properly.

I had problems similar when using xyplorer, It just needed me to set it as default to replace explorer.

[Blackchildcx]

Yes..you can reinstall better exp. by using a tool like Ashampoo uninstaller and monitor the instalation..

after that you can remove it with Ashampoo Uninstaller

Revo uninstaller pro has also a monitor feature.

[Blackchildcx]

by the way...me leave to cinema later, so dont forget to use Windows repair if all other options failed..

cheers ;)

A simple question..

What does actually sfc/scannow (file system check) do to the system?

As after performing this scan it has removed my customizations, even my additional themes are not working now. :(

should i repatch using any ThemePatcher? :think:

[Roger D]

Now how to remove these two entries introduced by BetterExplorer in the context menu of all the drives and Folders..

:( :(

[Roger D]

After Patching with Universal ThemePatcher.. my additional themes are working now.

but when i replaced ExplorerFrame.dll and imageres.dll in system32 folder with the help of live CD(bootable pendrive),these files always get restored with the original ones after rebooting.

how to replace these files? :( :(

A simple question..

What does actually sfc/scannow (file system check) do to the system?

It brings the integrity of all system files to default Microsoft state - the correct command is Sfc /ScanNow
