Hi all !I've upgraded this night from Vista to W7 Pro. My computer is faster than ever but... I can't browse my computer : error "explorer.exe : server execution failed"..... :-(I tried several tricks to launch it (by the run command, the Win+E, command prompt + explorer.exe, ...) Also, Windows Update fail to start with the same error... Any idea ?

I'd apprecciate any and all assistance.Awaiting your reply, respectfully,Hugo

My problem was that my software generally ws OK but 'windows explorer gaveme the explorer.exe : server execution failed I did some of the recommendations of vivian First suggestion got errors ( I think error 5) then set up new user as an aadministrator which worked ok but found that for example I had to re setup email. and my old desktop was gone..... I then remember "system recovery / restore which I could accessed somehow .That restored what I had 3 days ago...and what do you know ....Iamnot getting the error and all seems ok. SO try using system recovery???!!! Ps Just ask we aussies !!! ( except our hopeless government which is ruining the country )
