You should be able to do one of 2 things :\n\n1] Go into safe mode for windows , to do this keep continuesly pressing F8 before it loads windows then a menu will appear allowing to choose safe mode. From there you can use system restore to restore to an earlier date. If that does not work because you have it disabled or something else then use the expand command to expand it , look here :\n\nhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=34&t=66521\n\nThe command or commands you can try from that site would be the following :\n\nexpand f:/I386/explorer.ex_ c:/windows/explorer.exe\n\nIf that does not work in safe mode then you need to restart your machine, go into the bios by pressing delete or F2 depending on your machine. Then from there change the boot device priority to cd rom first and then go through the steps as though you are re installing xp but when it gets to asking you what you want to do , Press R to go into the recovery console.\n\nThen Press R to go to the recovery console, if you have a password set for the admins account, you will have to enter that after pressing the number of the installation of xp you want to repair ( generally this will be 1 since you normally only have one OS installed unless you are dual booting )\n\nOnce you are in there do the command stated above in the url with regards to the expand command.\n\nIf that does not work, go back into safe mode after changing the boot order back to the hard drive as the first boot device and when back in safe mode go to start --> run and type\n\nsfc /scannow\n\nmake sure to have the xp disc handy.\n\nIf that does not fix it ( Then i will be surprised lol )\n\nAs a last resort I then suggest a repair install , guide on how to do this can be found here :\n\nhttp://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm\n\nHope this helps\n\nFYI ajabay -if he deleted explorer then windows wont load so how do you expect him to go to start --> control panel etc ??\n\nOnly way around that as far as i can tell would be to press ctrl + alt + delete when it gets to the blue screen and get that to maybe run some commands but im not sure how much that would help, if at all. I doubt it would work to say the least, anyway my above suggestions are all valid ones :)

You can run a file recovery program.  A quick look found this link, but I have not tried the program and cannot vouch for it's ability to recover a file.  Also, be sure to scan it for virii before installing it.  Chances are, though, that just downloading the file and installing it could overwrite the files you deleted.  However, be glad that Windows doesn't actually delete anything.  It just marks those areas as not in use.

Go to START>CONTROL PANEL, click ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, find and click on WINDOWS EXPLORER 7, click CHANGE/REMOVE.\nThis weill revert your system back to IE-6.0  \nNewer is Not always best!

If you mean IE7 then it is best to do this. \nYou could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nE

That's the way to do it. You might also check under Explorer's options.

first before you do anything reboot your computer\nthen do it again if that doesnt help \n\ngo to the control panel by pushing the start button and then click on control panel (it may be under system tools)\n\nNext click on add/remove programs then find Internet Explorer and choose repair.\n\nIf you can not find that download and reinstall Internet explorer.

Okay.  Go to "Start" "settings" "control Panel" "add/remove programs"....on the lefthand side of that page you will see "windows Components".  Click on that and it will allow you to check or uncheck the accessories you erased.\n\nGood Luck

Here are some suggestions:\n\n1) Try re-installing Internet Explorer.  This may repair the registry.\n2) Try re-applying the latest OS service pack.\n3) If all of the above fail, run a system repair from your original media.  That may restore the registry.\n\nIf none of these options work, then I would suggest reinstalling the OS again (use the option to install, but not format the volume.. assuming you have enough disk space).  Internet Explorer is a strange beast that, once corrupted, is difficult to recover properly.  Since it's rather integrated into the OS now, it ads a lot of functionality to the desktop.  When it breaks, you lose that functionality and it can be difficult to fix.\n\nI would say that you should be thankful the system boots at all.  Deleting certain registry entries can keep the system from booting up.

If you lost it, you can call Microsoft and they can help you get it back. Otherwise, you are trying to use a pirated version.

try 'system restore'. under 'all programs' go to accecories, then system tools, there you'll see 'system restore'. go back to a time before you had that program installed

Just go to your Start menu and look for the IE icon again. It should be located in your Programs list. Its just a shortcut so you can basically "drag" the icon back onto your desktop or your taskbar.\n\nIf you have XP, you can drag any shortcut anywhere. \n\nIf you dont have XP then go to my Computer and then C drive. Go to program files and then look for your IE folder. Find the icon for IE, right click on it, copy it. Then just paste it into your taskbar.

A couple of things you can try\n\n1. Go to start/run and type in regedit and\ngo to\nHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT&#92;Folder&#92;shell&#92;open&#92;command\ndouble click on default and\nput this as the value:\n%SystemRoot%&#92;Explorer.exe /idlist,%I,%L\n\n\nStill have trouble? try deleting the shell folder in Hkey_classes_root&#92;folder&#92; then creating the open command\n\n2.  Boot to DOS or command prompt and type in scanreg/fix then reboot\n\nYou need to say what OS you are using

You need explorer.exe to run windows... the best thing to do is get a new hard drive, install windows on it, and keep your old hard drive as a so you can get your files off it later. You may need to buy an external usb hard drive case so you can recover your old files.
