Lucian,
This is the problem. When there is no file explorer, it is not even
possible to get to the desktop, or anything else for that matter.
Without file explorer, it appears that you have Windows, but no way to
interface, or interact with it, At least that is my impression
. I'm just hoping I am just wrong enough to be able to do enough to be
able to issue some kind of command. I guess if I have to power down in
order to get back into commission, then that is just what I must do. It
is just kind of scary when you are crippled in your ability to operate
your system. It has the feel of disaster too it.
Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,
In Windows 8.1 and 10, you can try the following:
On the desktop go to the Start button, press Application key and search for
Explorer or
press the Start button and write explorer or file explorer Enter
or press the Windows key and write the same, Enter.
This could eventually help.
Kind regards,
Lucian

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
