1. click start> type regedit. 2. Navigate to the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogo n 3. The little key 8th one from the bottom should be "Shell" 4. Double click it and in the value date it should say Explorer.exe if it doesn't then type that in there. 5. Hit Ok and restarted your machine. Let us know if that worked for you. | |||||||||||||||

| Re: explorer.exe wont load on startup Hi I had a Trojan Horse detected with my antivirus I tried to fix it using the recommendations from antivirus, it seems to work until ... My system didint load exploere from startup, it hangs showing me my documents folder... I hited ctrl+alt+del to show on the task manager than run Explorer.exe and the system starts and everything working fine, except that now i need to do that every time i start the computer. performed a search and found this forum... I have this line in this 8th key Shell = Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Config\lsass.exe should I delete the "C:\WINDOWS\Config\lsass.exe" leaving the Explorer.exe alone? |

| Re: explorer.exe wont load on startup Im guessing that it is caused either byu a virus, or more likely an internet explorer add on that does not like a certain file....it happened to me a second time so im leaning towards an IE add on..... let me know if there are anymore problems |
