Yes you can start and stop explorer.exe in both Windows Vista and Windows XP, however to get to task manager in Windows XP you just have to press CTRL ALT DEL. In the video it shows how to get to task manager in Vista. You can even use this to start Explorer in Windows Seven.
I am very happy I found your website and now I know how to start explorer.exe. thank you…I didn’t even know what explorer was.
Thank you. Very easy to understand video. I went to your Youtube channel and subscribed. I can learn allot from you.
