    Need help with explorer.exe


    First of all I need to say hi and thanks for reading my topic.

    My problem is that I'm not a fanatic of Windows 7 Tweaking, I usually leave it as it is, but today I saw a nice theme and I liked it, so I decided to install it.
    It had also system files replacement(explorer.exe, explorerframe.dll).

    I accidentally deleted explorer.exe, and I couldn't find it neither in Junk, neither in the theme folder. I already had downloaded a theme long time ago, and I took the explorer.exe and explorerframe.dll from it and moved them to their places.

    Now my question is; Will this replacement do something? I replaced other explorer.exe and explorerframe.dll

    Thanks for reading,
    Chr0sy.

    Run sfc /scannow in elevated Command Prompt. That might fix it.

    will definatly change things, not sure if you'll be able to see said changes however.

    I would restore to the point before you installed the theme and try it again. You can also copy explorer from installation or backup disk.
