sfetaz Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I have my Windows XP Pro setup so that The Taskbar and Explorer run in a seperate process. Problem is that sometimes the taskbar will crash and not start up again. When this happenes with Explorer I run "explorer". So what should I run to get the taskbar and start menu back?

Afterdawn Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Just hit Ctrl + SHift + Escape to start the tast-manager.Then in the menu choose Run...And type explorer! Explorer.exe works for the taskbar too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfetaz Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 I should have explained that when I enter Explorer in run, windows explorer pops up instead of restarting the task bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 that is because it has been modified a regkey. i can remember which was exactly, content of the key is "explorer.exe" ...... 2 mins later...... just a bit of google.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"Shell"="explorer.exe" restore this key and come back if it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
