Default Explorer

I am having a problem with my computer. It closes the windows when I click
the X but when I go to shut down it tells me the webpage or window that I
had open is not responding. Then I do an CTRL ALT DEL and bring up the list
of programs running.
I select the one named Explorer and terminate it.
When I do this it crashes my active desktop. I have to do a restore desktop
after I restart my computer.
I am not sure if the program listed as Explorer is Internet Explorer or
Windows Explorer. And isn't there a explorer repair tool somewhere?

Windows Explorer = EXPLORER.EXE
Internet Explorer = IEXPLORE.EXE
They overlap but are different apps.
You need Windows to operate the Desktop.
An error message that a web page is Not
Responding concerns only IE.

IEXPLORE can be "repaired" (i.e. recopied)
via MSINFO32 / Tools. No tool repairs
EXPLORER = Windows.

"Jimmy Fleetwood",

The golden rule is that you should not delete Systray or Explorer from
'Close Program' as they are vital to the running of your system.

If you require confirmation of this fact go to www.google.com and search
using: systray and explorer.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.
