Win7 Orb changer corrupted my explorer
Hi everyone,
This is my first thread on the website so if it has a bad title or its in wrong location then i'm sorry
Ok so, I was bored with the default orb and decided to change it. I downloaded this app called "Windows 7 Start Orb Changer" (screenshot included)
And i was stupid enough not to create a restore point
First problem I encountered was that the new orb was not permanent and will go back to default any time,
I opened "C:\Windows\W7SOC" to see what all files did it put there (and of course i didnt understood what was going on there)
I then opened "C:\Windows\W7SBC" and mistakenly opened "change.bat"
and it somehow managed to delete or corrupt my explorer, I ran explorer in "C:\Windows\W7SOC" and copied it to c:/windows (where there were explorer.backup files --- which were't working) and system 32
Now my PC is working but i really want to know what just happened to my computer few mins ago,
also is there anyway to completely go back to stage before i changed my orb without using sys restore --- you know, my deleting useless files n stuff.
And if it was change.bat which did all this, why is there even a file like that !!!!
I am including screenshots of the "C:\Windows\W7SOC" + "C:\Windows\W7SBC" + orb changer
Please tell me what all can i delete
And also, where exactly does the OS call explorer.exe from? "C:\Windows" or "C:\Windows\system32" ??
Thank you Guys for reading all this :)
I really appreciate it !!!!!
PS: I also tried restore option in Orb changer but no success
