Windows XP Perform Maintain >> How do I reinstall Windows Explorer (files/folders) I agree. Your desired end result is not clear at all. You can expand a new
copy from the Windows XP install CD-Rom.

From a command prompt you can expand the files. An example;

expand E:\I386\explorer.ex_ %systemroot%\explorer.exe
would expand a new copy to the windows directory.

Also you'll want to use the correct version for the service pack level
you're at. So you may need to extract the file from a service pack.

To extract the service pack files without installing them, execute
J:\XPSP2\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe /x
Then when prompted, specify a directory to hold the extracted files.
