As a .bat file and putting it on the desktop. It will restart explorer.exe (which is now hidden away in task manager at the bottom of processes, unless you have File Manager open, in which case it can be found in the apps section of processes.
Click on Winlogon. On the right side you will see a bunch of different values. You should see one that says Shell with explorer.exe next to it. Replace it with the path of the program you want to launch on startup.

In XP64 it wasn't not such a big deal. In the taskmanager you can see the 32-bit explorer.exe running but it did start as the shell. In Windows 10 (as I came to this problem, it looks like it is introduced in Windows 7), the 32-bit explorer.exe is a stub which creates a new instance of the 64-bit explorer.exe. It probably passes a path on the commandline here so the 64-bit explorer.exe opens a window instead of starting the shell.
Instead, you should force starting the 64-bit explorer.exe from the 32-bit application and all is ok. To do this, one method is using the sysnative directory as mentioned above. But another method is to use Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection/Wow64RevertWow64FsRedirection.
Your taskbar and notification area (as well as any open File Explorer windows) should disappear from view. Sometimes, Windows will restart the process automatically after a minute or so, but it's easiest just to go ahead and restart it yourself. In the Task Manager window, click the "File" menu and then click "New Task (Run...)".
Welp there goes my day. Now I have to troubleshoot becauase it lags when I try refreshing, freezes when I am uploading anything, and I cannot to the best of my ability open the images easily because the drag and drop funtion begins freezing my windows explorer.

Procrastinate Now! RE: Explorer.exe won't start in Windows 98 mainegeek (IS/IT--Management)13 Jun 05 08:18butterfm,
It is probably a virus. Maybe change the shell from Explorer to Program manager in the system.ini.
shell=Explorer.exe
(change it to)
shell=Progman.exe
This may allow you to boot and run the Antivirus if the PC has one or maybe instead slave the hard drive to another PC with a working and up-to-date Antivirus.
RE: Explorer.exe won't start in Windows 98 butterfm (Programmer)(OP)13 Jun 05 10:37Thanks guys - sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
Crowley16 - explorer.exe is still there (i've checked in DOS). The error message just says that it has problems staring it.
Maingeek - I thought it might be a virus. I'll try the system.ini change and if that doesn't work, i'll slave the HDD on my machine and run a virus check.
Thanks very much for your help both of you.
Matt. RE: Explorer.exe won't start in Windows 98 buletman (TechnicalUser)24 Jun 05 17:07Hello, I had the same problem and found a fix earlier today:
delete these from your registry (AS ALWAYS, MAKE A BACKUP FIRST IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplorer.exe
Worked for me and a few other people...let me know...
Chad RE: Explorer.exe won't start in Windows 98 butterfm (Programmer)(OP)27 Jun 05 07:35Thanks for the advice buletman. Sadly i've formatted and re-installed in the meantime as the person who's PC it was needed it back
I ran virus check etc on the drive as a slave in my machine but couldn't find anything.
Where are these registry entries from (i.e are they put there by some kind of malware ?)
Thanks,
Matt RE: Explorer.exe won't start in Windows 98 Krosus (TechnicalUser)27 Jun 05 11:07Basically some viruses and malware make copies of explorer.exe that are dodgy and make the system fall over all the time.
Latest one to do this is i have seen is called Smitfraud it basically hijacks and cocks up your machine but gives you a link to a program that can fix it for a price. basically they are blackmailing you to get your machine back and working again.
RE: Explorer.exe won't start in Windows 98 BadBigBen (MIS)27 Jun 05 12:25Sorry if this comes a bit late...
but you could have run SFC.exe from DOS, this lets you check the integrity of the System Files...
or you could have installed W98 over itself (this only works for W95 and W98, I don't know about ME, but definately not for w2k, xp, 2k3...)...
What has happened most likely was, that the Registry has become corrupted, either through User interaction, or through Malware, or just some progy gone sour on it...

If it works don't fix it! If it doesn't use a sledgehammer... RE: Explorer.exe won't start in Windows 98 butterfm (Programmer)(OP)28 Jun 05 11:31Thanks for the replies - never too late as the info may come in useful in the future.
After the virus/spyware scans I did try extracting explorer.exe from the cab files on the win98 CDROM and replacing the existing one. I also did a full Win98 install over itself. Neither of these fixed the problem.
I didn't try SFC.exe so it could possibly have been a DLL or other file associated with explorer.exe that was causing the problem.
Ben - would doing an install over the top leave the registry intact. If so your idea of a corrupt registry is a good possablility. The person who owned the computer wouldn't know what a registry was so it's unlikely they have broken it through regedit but I suppose some form of malware or program could have.
Thanks for your replies.
Matt. RE: Explorer.exe won't start in Windows 98 BadBigBen (MIS)28 Jun 05 13:27Doing an inplace/over-the-top install only redoes the part of the Registry that deals with Hardware and the Microsoft OS, it pretty much leaves every Program (Software part) in place... so that could have been where the culprit got stuck...
in lieu of that, the other option would've been to download a Registry Fix progy like Registry Mechanic or RegHealer, to fix the Registry...
but usually the quickest and sometimes easiest way is to start from Scratch, like you have done...

On reboot, the pre-login screen reports failed patches and attempts recovery. When I log in, the explorer.exe files are missing and I only have a windowed command prompt. Server services appear to be working (SQL, etc). It's acting like it turned itself into Server Core.
explorer.exe is the base of Windows OS. Without it nothing runs. It is expected that ANY software makes use of it or is used by it.
In what extent, no one knows. But, Brave has some times of high processing, thus it is expected that explorer.exe is highly in use during these periods.
explorer.exe can be used for shell calls - like when launching a process, etc. One example of this is the Chromium code having a wrapper in base/process/launch.h. The updater might be using it too - specifically when looking at the user and determining if they have access to do an update. I saw some calls related to system tray too.
explorer.exe process running. So is it safe to allow Windows Explorer internet access? I have McAfee Security Suite installed for awhile and update it daily and I have never been asked to allow Windows Explorer to accept incoming connections. Suggestions?
Explorer.exe is a safe application provided that what is running is located in the c:\windows directory and is signed by Microsoft. Task Manager won't give you that information, but Process Explorer will.
Default settings, I suppose. I haven't changed any settings. On my program permissions, windows explorer is only permitted outgoing access. I left it alone, and restarted my computer after scanning. The alert for windows explorer hasn't come back up. Thank you for your help!
- System fan is running, laptop working hard
- I can not click on windows icon (start), just does not respond
- I restart, does not change anything, same behaviour.
- I can click on the icons in the quick-launc, so I try to start chrome (but there is no wifi..no connection it says)
If I can dig into the old and burning depths of my Windows knowledge I'm pretty sure explorer.exe is the file manager, but it's entirely possible it manages other things. Things like the desktop; see PCManFM for an example of this. I'm also reasonably certain it's a core windows process, and, as we know, windows loves to have as much crap as possible running all the time.

Hello I'm Ken and work for an MSP that supports a client who uses this product, unfortunately after their free trial ran out, they bought the upgrade and have a valid serial no. and license, however after every install, the explorer.exe process begins to crash every 30secs-1min and makes the OS too unstable to work in. After you uninstall the product, the OS functions normally and fully stable no process crashes of any kind.
I have the exact same issue. Latest version of Nitro PDF. It causes explorer.exe to crash every 1-2 minutes consistently. Uninstallation corrects the issue. Removing and purging out installation directories and reinstalling does NOT fix the issue. Issue only affects single user profile on the PC, does not happen on Administrator account. Worst of all, even after rebuilding Windows, the user continues to experience this problem once Nitro is installed. ff782bc1db
