    So you get logon? But no deskopt at all, all is black? Any text cursor? if so, is it blinking?

    Run explorer.exe from task manager. Does desktop appear?

    I tired to run explorer.exe but nothing happened, and I copyed explorer.exe of another working windows 7 computer and replaced the files but that didn't work either

    Open regedit

    Browse to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    And browse to key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    What is the value of "shell" in both keys?

    So you can run many applications... except explorer.exe? No error message at all?

    Don't replace files files .. it can ruine everything!!

    Open elevated command prompt Elevated Command Prompt

    Now type:
    sfc /scannow
