Pet Peeve: it's a laptop, not a labtop.


If Windows Explorer is crashing on you like that it's likely that you've been infected with a virus, or Windows itself has become corrupt. You can try the System File Checker, but I think you're probably headed for a reinstall of Windows.

Unfortunately it's rarely that simple. The initial menu displayed by the Start button is often very different for different people, and portions can also change over time. If it's there, great, but it may not be.

When I start up my computer I have no desktop and no start menu. A box pops up that says Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. I tried running explorer.exe through my task manager and it will not start. I did a registry cleaner and it said this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Doc Folder Paths
I have no idea what this means. Also on the Error Signature it had:
App Name: Explorer.exe
Mod Ver: 5.1.2600.1106
App Ver: 6.0.2800.1106
Offset: 0001b62f
Mod name: Kernel32.dll
I am really frustrated and stuck on this problem. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks a lot. My system is windows xp pro

I'd say you probably need to either run the System File Checker, or perform a repair install of Windows.

I don't find anything resembling "Explore" when I right click on MyComputer. I do find shared documents, jim's documents, local disk, 3.5 drive,nero scout, my sharing files, and hp printer.
That's it.

Similarly, if i use the Window Key + E, i cannot find the folder (System Drive) that i'm looking for.

My problem is i added critical upgrades to XP Pro and my outlook express will not longer open. MS sent me to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873021 to fix this, and i got finshed down to #6, inclusive, but now i can't find "systemdrive" in windows explorer to finish. i do see program files, but i'm worried it's not the same thing as systemdrive\programfiles\outlookexpress, which is what i'm supposed to edit next.

thanks for allowing such a long explanation.
jim

Do you have a "Start" button? Then you have Windows Explorer. (It's the same program that provides this functionality as well.) It's highly unlikely that it's not there.

carol
Did you try all of the techniques to start Windows Explorer that were discussed in the article? Windows Explorer is not something you buy or download - it's a part of Windows itself and is already there.

After typing the address in the bar, the drop down menu (I think under file??) gives the option to allow ftp. After that, and signing in, it should be listed in your network places, and just double click.

I don't think Windows explorer does FTP. Either get a "real"
frp program (FileZilla is free and open source) or use
Internet Explorer or Firefox.

I have a file/print server running ME that has been trouble free, except for a blank left pane in Windows Explorer and My Computer. I have tried a number of different run command parameters but no cigar. I suspect a registry problem but haven't a clue whick entry to look for or how to make the left pane show up. Any ideas?

I think Microsoft were trying to persuade people to switch from using the "Explorer" view to the "My Computer & Tasks" view.
