It is located in accessories but when I open it, it is actually my documents. Can someone help or am I a complete idiotRight-click on My Computer and select Explore. (But it should be at %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe Try go there and make a shortcut to your desktop). Or better - if you still want to access it via Accessories, go to Accessories/Windows Explorer. Right-click on it, select Properties, and in the Target Window paste over whatever you've got there with %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe [edit] Or go to C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe. You can make a shortcut to your desktop or quick-launch bar if you like. |
