Oh, sorry, it is not simple. Did you already try to boot in Safe Mode and log in
as Administrator? Not a user as an administrator, but as the user named 'administrator'
to see if this may be a registry problem. The user named administrator has a set
of registry entries that are in a different area and are less likely to have been
altered.
If that does not help any, search this forum for 'Windows Explorer' and you will
find examples of problems. Microsoft says this was fixed in SP-4. Also a Google will
turn up sites that claim they can fix this 'FREE' and I can not say if they are any
good.
Anyway, the method is to get into the command prompt, find the directory where Windows
Explorer is located. The put in the install CD in and find the i386 directory. The
file you want needs to be expanded, I think it is explorer.ex_ and you use the expand
command so that the file on the D: is expanded into the right place on the C:. Or
something like that. And the read-only has to be off. Anyway, that will work if it
is a corrupt file. But not any help if it really is another problem, like a bad
registry entry. Hope this helps.
Oh, forgot to mention, You can use Firefox has a sort of directory viewer. You click
on 'File' then 'Open file'. But maybe you already know that.
