Thanks for this great post Wilson.
I had exactly the same problem with a mate's laptop after a virus.
I had jumped through so many hoops but your fix pushed me in the right direction.
However to get mine to work, I simply deleted the key rather than rename the explorer
and it all sprang back into life
Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated
