Hi,

- Does explorer.exe exist on your disk ?

- If you type explorer and then go into Task Manger - do
you see the explorer.exe process ?

- Does the Event Log say anything ?

- Does it work in Safe Mode ?

Regards,

Tim

If Explorer.exe didn't exist, he wouldn't have a shell environment to do
anything with.
