Windows Explorer and My Computer will not launch

Posted: 02-08-2004, 06:57 PM
I was messing with the XP Windows Registry and must have
done something bad, because now I can no longer open
Windows Explorer or any other application that opens
directories.
When I double click on My Computer or a short cut nothing
happens. No error message, nothing. I can still access
files through other application that still execute, i.e. MS
Word.
I have tried re-installing Windows XP, but no change. What
did I do and how do I undo it?

You re-installed XP over your previous install of XP, correct?

Did you try using system restore to take your machine back to an earlier
date?
