Help! I have lost explorer.exe

It does not start up at start-up and I tried Task-manager then tried run and then explorer.exe and it does not work.. I typed chrome and thats how I got here..

How do I restore this.. ?

Windows 7 32 bit
 
 

I would try this:
Advanced Boot Options

Select the option that says Last Known Good

If it wont' do that try this:
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

You might also have been able to restore it this way:

Open Task Manager, go to Processes, highlight 'explorer.exe' and click on End Process. Then, go back into Task Manager, and in File section, select New Task (Run). Type explorer.exe (or C:\Windows\explorer.exe) in the Run box (it may be there already). Below the command, it should say: This task will be run with Administrator privileges. Click Okay.
