Hi
I am trying to help a friend. He was having problems with RAM and decided
to go to task manager and quit a few programs. Well, he ended
explorer.exe
tree and now he cannot boot. All he gets is the wallpaper...no bars no
icons
no nothing. Not even a right click. he can't do a CTRL+ESC to get to
programs either. The only thing that he can get to work is task
manager...
but I don't know how to help him from that point. We did go to windows
with
command prompt... and it shows explorer.exe in the directory. Is there a
way to access system restore so he could go back a day?
any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks


.
