Solved Windows Explorer Error

[murlie]

Hello all,

When attempting to open 'Windows Explorer' in the 'Accessories' folder I am presented with this error: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel. I would like to know how to rectify this issue. Thank you for your time and interest.

Thank you for your quick replies. It turns out the 'Windows Explorer' shortcut in the 'Accessories' folder to explorer.exe was somehow faulty (still not sure why or how). However I created a new shortcut and now it opens just fine. Thank you again for your time.
