Hi
I have turned off system restore. I then renamed c:\windows\explorer.exe. I
took a dir explorer.exe and it showed no files I waited a few seconds and
took another dir explorer.exe and explorer.exe was back right there. Is this
normal? Is there any way to permanently delete or rename the existing
explorer.exe?
Thanks

It's a protected system file. Why do you want to get rid of it?

In case it is corrupted related to my earlier problem so I can replace it
from a fresh copy.

That's exactly what the system did.

Put the fresh copy in the system32\dllcache folder, WFP will pick it up
from there when you delete it from the %windir% directory.

After deleting explorer.exe delete the C:\WINDOWS folder.
Just joking, ha ha ha. So you deleted explorer and now you have no desktop? Explorer IS
Windows! Restore explorer.exe from your Windows disc.
