explorer.exe does not run on startup
Hello and thanks for your time. Every time I boot my computer, the process freezes when it's time to run explorer.exe. For some unknown reason, it won't load on its own. I can overcome the problem by using the task manager (File - New task - "explorer"), but this has to be done every time I boot. I would appreciate some help to find a permanent solution. Thanks in advance. m. -- manos |

explorer.exe does not run on startup
Hi,
Run regedit from the start/search line, go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Locate the shell entry in the right pane and double click it. Replace the contents with just: explorer.exe Click ok, then close the registry editor and restart the system. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "manos" wrote in message ...

explorer.exe does not run on startup
I will give some more info, hoping this will help you help me. The problem started after I manually turned off my computer, because of a system crash. At that moment, windows explorer was open, showing the contents of C:\texts. Now, every time I log in Windows, the only thing that appears on the screen is that window showing the contents of C:\texts. Nothing else is displayed (no wallpaper, no desktop icons, no start menu), until I manually run explorer.exe via the task manager. How can I make them appear automatically again on system startup? Thanks in advance. m. -- manos |

explorer.exe does not run on startup
I had this problem and at last found solution! If it is the same what in my case, try: open registry (menu Start - run (or run Comand prompt): regedit). open: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ Current Version \ Winlogon At right pane there is "Shell". The value of it must be "explorer.exe" (and nothing more - in my case there was activedebugger.exe too, when I removed it explorer start appear on startup). I hope it help Dap7 -- Dap7 |

... Thanks mate been running it like that forever. Didn't want to reinstall vista cause it takes to long. Gonna try this out To whom are you talking and about what? The "forum" that you are posting in leaches off the Microsoft News servers in order to make it look far busier than it really is. Everyone who uses the MS News servers sees your post on it's own - we have NO IDEA what you are talking about and to whom you are talking. This is not your fault - the fault lies with the forum owners who do not explain to members that their posts end up on global Usenet newsgroups. If you MUST continue to post in this "forum" then please at least quote the post you are replying to, and do NOT change the subject line. You would be far better off however, using a news reader and subscribing to these news groups direct.

Unfortunately, we don't know what the "same prob." is or what regfix you're referencing. Therefore, it's very difficult to help you. The explanation: You are not posting on a real forum as you think you are and you didn't quote any of the thread to which you are replying. You are using a web interface that leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of us are using real newsreaders. We don't see what you do. If you want to participate in Usenet, the better way is to set up a newsreader. This is very easy to do and I'll give you information about that below. If you prefer to use a forum, then here are two excellent ones: http://forum.aumha.org/index.php http://http://computerhaven.info/ Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups: About Usenet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet http://www.faqs.org/faqs/ - Usenet FAQs from the Internet FAQ Archives http://www.usenetmonster.com/infocenter/ http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Usenet - a brief explanation of newsgroups Outlook Express/Windows Mail as Newsreader: http://michaelstevenstech.com/outloo...snewreader.htm http://rickrogers.org/setupoe.htm http://vistasupport.mvps.org/accessi...ndows_mail.htm How to Post: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Usenet http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 - How to Ask a Question http://users.tpg.com.au/bzyhjr/liszt.htm - How Not to Get Technical Help on Usenet http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://aumha.org/nntp.htm - list of MS newsgroups microsoft.public.test.here - MS group to test if your newsreader is working properly http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/munad.htm - how to munge email address http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting - crossposting http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm - multiposting Other Newsreaders for Windows: http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php - Forte http://www.mozilla.org - Thunderbird Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
