Explorer not working in Classic skin, no way to 'revert' to Aero

Hello. I got stuck with this Classic skin with no working explorer Window, causing all attempts to change themes again to an Aero theme not to work. Is there any way I could change to Aero without any access to the Personalisation page? That page is loaded in Explorer, and Explorer doesn't work correctly.

Welcome to the Seven Forums
Click on the Start Button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt copy and paste this into the command prompt and press Enter what is in Bold Red including last quote mark that should start the default Aero theme.
