Hi,
If you can open the run dialog with windows key plus R, try typing in
Explorer and press enter.

Listers,
This is kind of a stupid situation for one to fine one's self in, but
it can happen so easily I'm afraid.
I was trying some shortcuts on my desktop that were linked to
different USB drives, or at least the letters pertaining there too
when a shortcut that didn't lead to a connected drive came up. What
happens when that happens is that you get what appears to be an error
message (it isn't spoken) telling you the drive isn't present, but
when you use the ctrl-shift-t to read the title, it says File
Explorer. I'm sure that that is all well and good. The problem is
that I cannot find a way to close that box without closing File
Explorer. Problem is, when you do that, you loose not only the dern
box, but a whole lot of access to your PC as well. Heck, you can't
even shut down using alt-F4. You can't even just log out and log back
in again.
What I wish to know is how to reopen File Explorer without having to
completely power down the machine in order to get things back to normal.
I really would like to know how to go about closing that box, so that
such drastic action wouldn't even have to be contemplated <smile>.
This is one that I've been intending to ask for years, but thank God
the situation doesn't arise all that often.
Thanks for any guidance or suggestions,
Larry
