Whenever i click on the explorer icon in the taskbar its show this message
The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create and association in the Default Programs control panel.
I tried opening explorer.exe from C:\Windows\explorer.exe
tried to pin it again
also tried the sfc /scannow in both safe mode and normal.
The antivirus that i'm using is ESET Smart Security 5 final and Malwarebytes free on-deman scan
All folders open only this doesn't. Please help me
