Windows XP Explorer.exe

C:\Windows\Explorer.exe cannot be loaded. No movement at all.
I have been loading from the Desktop shortcut for the last
3 years. Now nothing happens?
I downloaded a new Explorerzip file in google but that looks like
a dead file.
There is a XP.INI file with one entry Filter=0 in Windows Folder.
Please help?

Have you tried typing explorer.exe in the 'run' box and then pressing
Enter?

Yes it works from Run box.
My shortcut has this Command:-
C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,C:\

It is OK from the Desktop now

What was the reason so that I can avoid it in future?

Thank you very much for your quick tip.

You gave us no information to go on, so there's really no way to
suggest how to avoid it.

Nil
There was no error message or something similiar
to that. It did not move at all. Clicl/Dclick did not
make any difference. I have been trying for two hours.
Sorry I cannot give any clue at all. It never happend before.
Thank you very much for your help to solve the problem.

Better do a virus scan using a Linux boot disk and
then run chkdsk /f DRIVE_LETTERS:

For an offline scan, you can use this.

http://support.kaspersky.com/8092

"Iso image of Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 (237 MB)"

That's a Windows virus scanner, loaded on a Linux
boot disc. It starts up automatically, with the GUI for
the tool running, so you don't need to know (much) to get
it going.

You tick the "drive letters" to be scanned. If you cannot
figure out which letter is which, just tick all of them :-)
For example, when I want C: scanned, I happen to tick E:.

The scan time varies with what you feed it. If you insist
on feeding it tar balls (source archives), it'll bog down.
For example, when it scanned the source code for Firefox
(around 60000+ files in a ZIP), it actually killed the
scanner. If the files aren't ZIPs with huge numbers of files
inside, then you might be looking at a couple hours of scan time.

I would usually attribute it to just one of them crazy one-time
computer things - something crashes for no apparent reason, you reboot
and move on. The only thing in your story that gives me pause is your
statement, "I downloaded a new Explorerzip file in google but that
looks like
a dead file." I have no idea what "a new Explorerzip file" is or why
you would downloaded it in the first place, but maybe it contained a
virus or other malware. Give your computer a thorough scan. Your
computer might now be infected with something nasty.

Create a .TXT file.

Copy the below lines (below the dashed line and above the signature
delimiter) and paste them into the .TXT file.
Rename the file to .REG (ex: shell.reg) then Double-Click on the .Reg file.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="explorer.exe"
