re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Tuesday, February 4, 2003 at 1:12 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ms. Eagle (33640 messages posted) No, it can't be installed any other way. Explorer.exe IS your desktop. If ME came preinstalled, you probably have the ME CAB install files on your hard drive. Those can be used to reinstall Windows and are usually there, if you're OS came preinstalled and you have no install CD. I need to locate info. on the directory they'd be in. I'm more familiar with 9x. Plus, there are a few questions I have to get an answer to. In ME you can use msconfig (system configuration utility) to extract files. I've asked someone, if Winfile.exe comes in ME. You'd need to replace Explorer.exe with Winfile.exe temporarily so you can get access to applications like msconfig. The instructions are difficult, but I understand! It's still easier than having to format and reinstall Windows! I probably won't be able to get back to you for awhile. If you know someone that can help, but you may be able to do it...whether you think so or not. :) Written in response to: re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Stefanie D.: Tuesday, February 4, 2003 at 11:59 am) Responses to this message: Correction: Instructions ''aren't'' difficult :) (Ms. Eagle: Tuesday, February 4, 2003 at 1:22 pm) re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Stefanie D.: Thursday, February 6, 2003 at 11:59 am) All messages in this thread [show all] Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Stefanie D.: Mon, Feb 3, 2003, 4:38 am) re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Jamie: Mon, Feb 3, 2003, 3:02 pm) re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (ling li: Mon, Mar 16, 2009, 2:45 pm) re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Ed: Sun, Apr 12, 2009, 11:03 am) Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Ms. Eagle: Tue, Feb 4, 2003, 2:43 am) re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Stefanie D.: Tue, Feb 4, 2003, 11:59 am) re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Ms. Eagle: Tue, Feb 4, 2003, 1:12 pm) Correction: Instructions ''aren't'' difficult :) (Ms. Eagle: Tue, Feb 4, 2003, 1:22 pm) re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Stefanie D.: Thu, Feb 6, 2003, 11:59 am) re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' (Jack Gulley: Thu, Feb 6, 2003, 6:36 pm) re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' HELP!
